Although my diary is not as interesting as Bridget Jones’ s, it is rather disorganised. So with amazing grace and The amazing gifting of Linda Allan she will enable me to discover what good time management is and be my PA�
For now, the last week in the month will be for pastoral and administrative duties only. If no speaking engagements or meetings are in it, I will be able to travel to England to visit my parents and children if and when I need too.
Thank you to all who have encouraged me to rethink my work pattern.

Hillsborough Disaster
The Rt Rev Dr Nigel Peyton, Bishop of Brechin says:“ I was at Hillsborough as a Nottingham Forest supporter and watched in dismay as the disaster unfolded. It was chaotic, simply awful.
“ On a beautiful spring day bodies of crushed Liverpool supporters from the overcrowded terracing began to litter the pitch.
“ Before the game I shared drinks with Liverpool fans in a pub near the ground – there was never bad feeling between the clubs. I am delighted that the stain of blame on the Liverpool fans’ behaviour has been removed. Forest fans will also be relieved by today’ s verdict.“ I kept my match day programme in which the chairman of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club praises the facilities and safety of the stadium. The day’ s events and today’ s verdict show otherwise.
“ The inquest has determined that ninety-six fans were killed unlawfully. My heart goes out to the Liverpool families who have been so tenacious and dignified in pursuit of the truth over so many years. Maybe they can finally get the closure they so deserve.”
