The last few days

have been very busy with getting the cottage back to normal after the wedding and with working some extra hours.

Tony is still waiting for a bed in a specialist unit down south but he is slowly starting to speak and acknowledge people verbally - Praise God!

On Friday I visited the daughter of some friends. She works and lives at a riding school about 20 miles away and is set in amongst some lovely countryside. I took some photos and on the way back stopped off at a local beauty spot and took some photos there as well. Friday evening we got a call telling us that one of the young women at the riding school had been badly injured and was in the same unit as Tony! Apparently she had been schooling a horse which had reared up; she had stumbled to the ground, face down, and the horse had come down onto her. She has a broken back and is seriously ill - please pray for Emma.

Kriss has just got back from speaking this morning over at Dingwall; we have a sister fellowship over there. It's just the other side of Inverness and on the way back she was able to meet up with her niece Lindsay, Tony's wife. She had a positive time with her and was able to share with her about all the folks who are praying into the situation.

Everton play their first match in a European competition for 10 years this coming Tuesday. It is going to be a difficult game but hopefully we can get a win. We then have the away match two weeks later and just maybe we can get through to the next stage of the competition.

That's all for now folks.
