step by step

It was my last service at Ysgol y Parchedig Thomas Ellis yesterday. I confess that I had a little moment, when tears could have flowed. It is a brilliant school with an exceptional headteacher. It is closing and merging to become part of Ysgol Cybi; so that lessons the sadness that I will not be going back there to Thomas Ellis, no one will.

Life has been full of goodbyes over the last few weeks. They are about to reach a crescendo.

This picture is taken near Caerlaverock, quite close to the wildfowl and wetlands centre (http://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/caerlaverock/). Whilst is a still picture, there is much happening, the light interacting with the water, the sun and the river... There needs to be sometimes lots of activity to create a moment of peace.

Similarly, it is also true for the sadness to come, there must have been much contentment and joy.

Time to move on.
