A little excursion to the College Valley, including going up Great Hetha and paddling in the Hethpool Linn, followed by the obligatory stop at Doddingtons Dairy cafe.

50. How did that happen? It’s been quite a journey, but I’ve made it this far. I’d like to go back and tell this little chap that it’s all going to work out ok. I wonder what he’d think? (Probably something like ‘Lose some weight, you *** *******’)

There is so much to celebrate about the life of Pope Francis, and therefore also a deep sense of loss at his passing.
He truly set an example of faithfulness to Christ. And how amazing that he has died in the context of Easter with its message of hope for salvation and new life. (1/3)
Wonderful to have a full church this morning. Thank you to everyone who worshipped with us and contributed to all of the services this Holy Week. Happy Easter! @dioceseofedinburgh.bsky.social
