About Us

Wauchope, NSW, Australia
Welcome to Elizabeth and John’s blog, where you can join us on our latest adventure in 2011. We first blogged in 2007, while we were living in Cambridge, UK (you can find it under the title 'Living with the Angels'). John and Elizabeth are married, and are both ministers in the Uniting Church in Australia. Here you will find photos and musings about how successfully we are transplanting ourselves to the verdant pastures of Wauchope, and what we hope to do. 2011 so far has been a year of great change for us, having moved from Thornleigh in Sydney to working and living in the Hastings valley. Of course, as well as working, we will be visiting a number of places of interest in the area. Here, in the future, we hope to post photos and commentary on our time in Wauchope as well as other places we will visit. We hope you enjoy exploring the blog! And ... if you are wondering why this blog is called 'the rural reverends', you haven't been paying attention.

Cambridge: a catch-up

We have been on another weekend trip -- this time into the fenland to the north of Cambridge city. The post for this should appear later in the week. Here's a teaser, showing the flat, flat countryside...

But for the moment, here are a few photos providing a catch-up on life in Cambridge city. After all, we actually spend most of our time in the city (not gallivanting around on country jaunts) so this is what life is really like for us most of the time!!!

A row of chimneys in the lane leading to the bridge across the river leading to The Backs...surpirsingly, it is called Chimney Lane!
