We've had lots of snow over the past week. Some areas, like Arran, have had no electricity for the past five days, and the TV news has carried heartbreaking pictures of farmers in Northern Ireland who are losing all their sheep and newborn lambs in deep snowdrifts. It's not really been too bad here in the central belt, but it doesn't take much to close British airports, and so I'm hoping there won't be a disruption with my flight from Edinburgh to Malaga today. It looks as if it's a good twenty degrees warmer in Alhaurin, even though the forecast there is for continued winter rains over the Easter weekend. We're running a "Pathways" retreat next week on the theme of different ways of connecting with God and enriching your relationship with Him. Then the countdown will begin, as staff and delegates start to arrive for this year's leadership development course, which will run from the last week of April to the first week of June.
