"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do then by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
On the 1st August 2011, my wife Carole and I moved to the village of Freshwater in the midst of the outstanding countryside on the western side of the Isle of Wight, close to the Needles, where I am now serving as the Pastor of Colwell Baptist Church. My previous blog, 'Bedfordshire Wild' became 'The Wild West' and records the flora & fauna I'm discovering in the beautiful countryside that surrounds our new home. I was privileged to have been able to serve the Bedfordshire Natural History Society as Chairman before moving to the island, and I remain passionate and committed to encouraging other people - both young and old - to get excited about their local countryside!
