This week I launched in with my first 5km run of 2022. I also led my first two POUND classes of the year. It’s been good to get moving again and it’s been good to get out of my own head. What I mean by that is that the sheer concentration on the movement alongside […]
Last night I received a message which simply read: Lynn Boyle blog. I don’t know the context in which it was written but it has prompted me to pick up my iPad today! It’s true to state that the past two weeks have not quite been the start to 2022 I’d been expecting. Instead of […]
What a rollercoaster of emotions! What a Christmas and New Year! I will not forget you 2021/22! I do think that for the majority of the population Christmas and New Year 21/22 will be remembered in one word: Omicron! I’m afraid this will far outweigh any preaching we might have offered about Our Lord God […]
It has been some weeks since I wrote here. It’s been a crazy time of packing up the vicarage and moving house, whilst preparing to leave the church where I’ve been serving as Vicar for just under 11 years. It has been such a task, but it felt right to try to be in our […]
It’s been one of those weeks! I began it with a run, then a run and row session, two Pound classes and I ended it with a run today. Monday morning was a gym session – it was pouring with rain, so as on Saturday, I put myself on the Treadmill. When I run alone, […]
As promised! The story of the bike ride! When I was approached with regard to being involved in the 100th Anniversary of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal back in August, I jumped at the opportunity. The organiser, Kevin Murray, asked if St Paul’s could be the starting point for 100 motorbikes, each of which […]
As we move into colder months I am back to getting up in the dark to take myself off to the gym for an early morning Spin or HIIT class. Running in the dark is not an option, so it’s once more on the Treadmill. Joining with my daughter to lift weights again has also […]
It has been a few weeks since I’ve written on here. If you’ve been following my Blog, then you know why: at the beginning of this month I received a comment on here which was hugely upsetting. I have not allowed it to be published. Ironically, in doing this I have protected the identity of […]
I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone posted a message which was both upsetting and offensive my website. It was in response to the publication of my experiences in ‘Secrets behind the collar’. Of course, I haven’t accepted it, so it won’t be seen publicly, but the very personal attack has […]
The past week has seen me up and out at 6.40am on four mornings, ready to take on the challenge of an early morning class in the gym. It has been my first week back in 10 months! This has been partly due to a bit of nervousness- it’s true, the longer you leave something […]
