Winter

I have only one follower of my blog. That in itself should not be too depressing. When I look at the statistics I have more readers from the Netherlands than any other country. That is fascinating. Well put it this way - they are my audience, but do they really read what I say? Americans and Kiwis follow them in terms of numbers.

So if you are reading this now - say hello will you!

Winter here would normally be a suitable topic for complaints and groaning on my part. This week has been a very pleasant one however - with real sunshine and temperatures of up to 15 degrees in the City of Sails.

A friend remarked this week that there is just SO MUCH WATER. Indeed this is true. We are surrounded. Mind you we are an island nation!

How's this for something exciting - let's see if there are any Israelis reading this. There is a bit of a buzz here over allegations that some of the people injured and killed in the Christchurch earthquake were Mossad spies. Well I never.

What this nation should be agonising over is really the spiritual state of the place. Here we are trying to get people to believe again - the whole place has a strong Christian heritage which has been systematically jettisoned.

Now all you Dutch readers - what's happening in your part of the world? You too had a great reformed history which was exported to South Africa our old country.

So get to your local Presbyterian church will you and discover the real life we share!

Greetings again from the wobbly islands. Let's see if my one follower has anything to say on this winter night!
