I’m in Belfast now having spent a wonderful weekend in Stevenston.  I stayed with my friend Allan and his parents Rev. John & Mrs. Moira Lafferty.  I’m completely full of tea, coffee, biscuits, scones and jam, steak pie, sausage, pancakes and bacon.  They showed me around Stevenston and the beach which has a nice mural of Robert Burns.  Stevenston is in Ayrshire (Burn’s Country) and the house across the street from the Manse was apparently the home of one of Burns’ lovers.

I preached at Livingston Church this morning and made my way to Glasgow airport to fly to Belfast.  I’m staying in a very nice victorian house close to the Uni, the bedroom is very large and I can stretch out.
