Bridges Burning

Feeling tonight like my bridges are burning. I had my final service this morning before my sabbatical, they presented me with a travelling teddy bear, I have just spent £1800 or so on a ticket to Australia, it's going to happen, it's real.
It's all right.


I came up with a new metaphor for the sabbatical today. I have calculated that I have been ordained for about nineteen years, and at forty six I have another nineteen years to go so that makes my sabbatical like the half time at a football match. I am going off to suck oranges and talk to the manager!




It doesn't look as good written down as it did when I said it out loud!
