am spending a few days traveling…

weds i was in bath with jon –  planning to re-invent proost. next year will be our 10th year. so seems a good time for a party and fresh start. greenbelt 07 is the target for the new shape. there will be a redesigned web site (obviously), all the stuff available for downloads and regular new content (new stuff each month) – music, movies and books. whereas we set it up originally to publish our own stuff we are broadening it out encouraging others to use it as an outlet for their creativity. we’re also considering an annual subscription for a year’s worth of downloads. it will of course retain its edge/ethos. so watch this space. while i was there jon pointed out this amazing coffee machine antique in a shop window that apparently still works. imagine brewing your coffee in that. a highlight was obviously watching chelsea beat barcelona in the champions league – chelsea were brilliant and won it with their dominance in midfield. another stunning goal from drogba!

thurs i did a training day for the west of england baptist leaders on mission in the emerging culture. i thought it went pretty well. then i headed up to derby for being interviewed for a fresh expressions dvd. no idea whether what i said made any sense!?

and this morning it’s off to sheffield where i have been asked to be an external person on an interview panel for a new fresh expressions post.

it’s half term next week so i am taking a week off. meantime joel is heading off to new york on a school trip – the one that got postponed in february because of the snow storms.
