Carmelite inspiration

Tomorrow

Off to a Carmelite Priory tomorrow, not out of the severe depression from being robbed of a Champions League place by Chelsea, but to lead a Confirmation retreat for an Oxford school.....

Far From Here

The song based on the historical accounts of the Highland Clearances and inspired by seeing a deserted croft and thinking through why it was no longer lived in...Njoy!!

The ruin cottage, stands cold and proud,
Against the elements, rain and cloud,
The memories of times past,
And generations, now there cast....


The moss and heather cannot hide,
families loss of love and their pride,
driven from the land, with blood and tears,
far, far, away from here!!


Far from here, the rain and snow,
Far from here, the land they know,
Far from here, the lochs and glens,
Far from here, those crofting men,
Far from here, the mountains high,
Far from here, they touch the sky.


A revolution, not of sword and spear,
An exodus to a distant pier,
Driven from the land through feudal fear,
Far, far, far away from here

Far from here, the rain and snow,

Far from here, the land they know,

Far from here, the lochs and glens,

Far from here, those crofting men,

Far from here, the mountains high,

Far from here, they touch the sky....

Speedy boarding thoughts

After a cattle herding experience of Glasgow airport late last night, I was thinking through the concept of this Speedy Boarding. You pay MORE to get on before everyone. You don't get to your location any quicker, you are still waiting for the plebs to get on after you and in some cases, they will even sit next to you!

Additionally, there is no speedy unboarding. You get off with everyone else. Depending on your seating in the plane, they may even get off before you!!! Shock!! Horror!!

A very strange concept..... Speedy boarding!!
