I’ve written a new article which is now available on Crossring. It’s based on Mark 9:33-50 and is part of the second “Mark Marathon”. Unfortunately this term I won’t have time to do more articles for Crossring (I’m preaching twice, as well as doing three youth group talks this term!) but still, at least I’ve…

Today’s photo is, once again, taken at lunchtime. Except it doesn’t involve water! I think the field in the picture had been ploughed recently – either way it looks a lot browner than it has done recently. (Might be something to do with the rain as well, I’m not sure). I’m still trying to learn…

Today’s photo is of a tunnel which actually goes under the A12. If I want to get to the river from my workplace, I have to walk through this tunnel. To me it represents freedom, of sorts – it’s a barrier between me and work! I’ve tried to encapsulate this by making the end of…

Today’s picture is of the Colne, near Castle Park. I think that particular part of the river is covered with algae, it almost looks like a kind of green carpet on the river! If you weren’t paying attention you might even think it was grass and try to walk on it. I took a few…

If I’m being totally honest, the photo today was taken by Mrs. Phil. I wasn’t even there when the picture was taken! We went down to Stansted Mountfitchet to visit Sarah’s parents, in order for me to talk to Sarah’s dad about ministry (he is an Anglican minister so it made sense. I didn’t just…

Quick one tonight! At lunchtime today I didn’t have time to take a photo, and then we have a youth group meeting this evening. I thought I’d pop out into the garden and see if I could get any good flower shots! I think this is my favourite one. This is a sedum, which is…

Today’s photo is another “lunchtime walk” jobbie. (Like I said, there are going to be a lot of these…) This is taken from the lock just up the river from where Tuesday’s picture was taken. There is a little waterfall the other side of the lock which may well feature in a photo at some…

My photo today was – again – taken at lunchtime. There are a few little paths near where I work, this is one of them. You can’t see it in the preview, but on the post there’s a little direction arrow indicating the walk. I like this because it’s absolutely pointless – you can only…

If you’ve been following my Twitter for a while you will probably have seen photos of the Chelmer before. I often walk down there at lunchtime. I think rivers are just about my favourite subject matter for photographs, particularly on a sunny day. There’s just something beautiful about them, the reflection of the trees rippling…

We went out to Fordham today to have lunch with AJ and Jen. We walked from their house over to the Shoulder of Mutton and had a very nice lunch. Phil had sausages and mash, while I had a cheeseburger with chips. Good honest bank holiday food! This picture was taken on the way back,…
