I lived and trained here for two years and became a Salvation Army Officer in 1980 The best thing I ever did!... even if at the time I wondered what on earth I was doing there!
Please join me in Prayer for the students who will be going into training this coming autumn

I did 83-85 and I suppose memories can play tricks on you but I seem to recall the place buzzing with people now, whenever I go back, I seem to be to go from location to another and not see a soul..
I was born in Uruguay. I love God, life, and my wonderful husband. I am so proud of my son Philip (doctor) and his girlfriend Rebecca (law). My daughter Sarah is my best friend (Leicester University). I'm also passionate about the Salvation Army (my Church).
Now the fruit of the Spirit is patience, And the fruit of the Spirit is peace, The fruit of the Spirit is gentleness, And joy that will never cease. The gift of the Spirit is healing, And hope for the darkest hour, The gift of the Spirit is love, yes, love and power, and power. John Gowans
About My Blog Titles
I am a teetotaller. I choose not to drink alcohol so you might well wonder why I use the words vineyard, harvest and vintage, words usually associated with wine making and wine tasting to name my blogs! I like these words because they help me communicate my journey of faith very well. If I was a fruit I would be a grape. I like to drink grape juice from a tall glass and I enjoy the sight of vineyards. Grapes grow in a vineyard, ripen for the harvest and mature into a vintage drink, biblical metaphors which beautifully mirror my own spiritual journey.

About This Blog
This is a light-hearted blog where I will publish items that are going to inevitably tell you about me (Oh dear!) How I tick...How my brain works...How I think...Things about my past...How I came to be where I am... and about my life at the moment. If you would like to read more then feel free to visit my other blogs, From Marta's Harvest (a behind the scenes look at my preparations for Sunday worship) and From Marta's Vintage (which provides my own devotional material).
