Well I’m touched that a number of you guys who read my blog regularly are having withdrawal symptoms because italker has not been posting. The truth is I’ve got a lot on at the moment. I’m in the middle of writing the CWW Report for the General Assembly.  Taking up the challenge of being set free from parish duties for the next three months to allow me to head up the team that is working hard on delivering the amazing  National Gathering is an exciting and daunting prospect. so no doubt I’ll be sharing a few stories over the next few months. Meanwhile make sure you book your tickets for Ingliston, better still organise a bus party and bring the whole congregation.  Anyway I’m signing off tonight after having a most enjoyable evening listening to Stephen’s band “We See Lights”. they were playing in Henry’s Bar  in Morrison Street Edinburgh. Believe me when i tell you they are worth going to hear. i’ll see if i can get some pics of Rae tomorrow and I”ll load them up on the blog. Honest I’m back.
