Here’s the third entry into why the Dryden Family has moved from Stoke-on-Trent. Part One covered where we are now and how we got here. Part Two looks at when we left the city and began looking at why the move took place. So the interview continues … How does the rest of your family […]
Read More The Exit Strategy Interview – Part 3So we carry on the interview with meself from the last entry that explored where I am and how I got here. The point of this series of posts is to help uncover some of the issues behind the latest developments with me and the Stoke-on-Trent deal.. When Did You Leave Stoke-on-Trent? Good question. There’s […]
Read More The Exit Strategy Interview – Part 2I’m not sure if I properly addressed all in one go the developments from being a resident of Stoke-on-Trent working for the North Staffs YMCA and being a member of the Stoke-on-Trent Church of God (Seventh Day) to the current position. I know I’ve blogged on it intermittently, but I thought it might work if […]
Read More The Exit Strategy Interview – Part 1To keep you aware, some of the posts I do have been pre-scheduled sometimes days in advance. Some of them are worked on during the day in a nice neat Word file (OK OpenOffice Writer now) then put up on here. Sometimes however, it’s just good to freestyle blog, almost as if there doesn’t have […]
Read More Just Free-StylingSo it’s all well and good blogging on this, that and the other – but how am I? How’s the family? What’s going on? Good questions, good questions.

Read More Family Fortunes February UpdateApparently according to the calendars of some this is a day to celebrate romantic love and express that with the appropriate sentiments shared with that special significant other. I never bought into the day myself for two reasons. I come from a background that says basically if it’s not in the Word, then there’s no […]
Read More Love Lifted MeI’ve been outlining where I go from here and did so on the basis that God is one who gives direction and to receive it requires humility and excitement in the knowledge that life isn’t aimless and pure drudgery. In the last entry I also shared some of my hopes about where my writing goes from here […]
Read More Where Do I Go From Here? Beyond TextLately I’ve been reflecting quite a bit on the beginning. The beginning of a lot of things. The beginning of my faith walk. The beginning of my time in Stoke-on-Trent. The beginning of my relationship with the woman who would be my wife. The beginning of my marriage. The beginning of the end of my […]
Read More Sabbath SolaceAs much as I want to ignore the goings on of this particular time of year I don’t need to on this occasion – it plays into my favour. My dad was never one for these kinds of thing – not a party man, not one for the big festivities and all that kind of […]
Read More Another Step On The JourneyFor some reason when I thought of the title for today’s blog I was thinking about a fruit juice that I think was called the same name because it had five different fruits that contributed to the juice. I’m not sure if it’s still around or if it’s been taken off the market. It would […]
