Now we're into the 3rd year since the Great Storm damaged our Roof! Would you believe it.
Since then we've had so much work done for and by our Members and our Community.
We are onto our 3rd Interim Moderator! and thankfully we are only on our 2nd. Locum Minister.
Still who would have believed that after last winter's 'Big Freeze' that we would have another one - even earlier! It sometimes seems that we can be almost blase about the near balmy days we've had this last week.

Still who would have believed that after last winter's 'Big Freeze' that we would have another one - even earlier! It sometimes seems that we can be almost blase about the near balmy days we've had this last week. In fact I remarked this morning that I'd almost forgotten about the 'wind-chill' factor! A little bit too soon yet to discard the thermals I think? Especially as we've had to remove some plasterwork in the Vestry Entrance, in order to allow the Stonework behind to get some air to aid the drying out process.
The vagaries of the completion of the High Roof Repair means that we have had to ask for Listed Building Consent from Glasgow City Council in order to install the necessary Roof Anchors for Safe Working at Height. Yes; I'm talking about cleaning out the gutters - Again! A necessary task and one which we are obliged to do; often, frequently and more essential than most places.
I sometimes wish that the Stone Gargoyles, the guardians of our roof would arise from their vantage point and complete the task for us.
Perhaps a little fanciful, but I wonder what stories they could tell
