A new year, a new effort to blog


It's now an embarrassingly long time since we wrote anything on here. However, it's a new year, I'm writing a new prayer letter, and it suddenly became crystal clear that this would be a useful and easy thing to do.

In the letter I'm currently writing is the above family photo. We're inside a church which is inside a tree!

Here is the only webpage we've found about it, and be warned: the blog from which this is taken is an enormous archive of all sorts of articles about Greek Orthodoxy. We are not responsible for the content of other websites!

However, I thought I'd put this up as a useful insight into the wonderful (sic) world of Eastern Orthodoxy at a folk level. The information on these pages is not 'official' teaching, but may as well be in that it is all accepted as part of the fabric of the faith. Have a look if you're curious!

"a new effort to blog" is good news! Looking forward to lots of news, photos...

Michael said the next time we went to Kalavryta he would take us to the church-in-a-tree. Sadly, there was no 'next time'. I imagine the bridge in the gorge is fixed by now (though I realise I'm talking about Greece), which means I'd like to go again and do the Vouraikos Gorge walk in full, instead of getting a taxi around the inaccessible bit. I’m sure Wilson Jr would love it.

Brilliant photo of the family, we miss you guys.
