It seems a bit ironic to me that the media is criticising the government for not spending enough to help those in danger and yet it was not so long ago, I recall, that the government were being criticised for spending too much on foreign aid and not looking after our own.

Words by the Wayside “For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.”

(Psalm 86:5)

Reader, it is those who willingly choose the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour through repentance of their sins and faith in His atoning death, that He willingly bestows salvation upon. In God’s Family there are no conscripts; all have called upon God for salvation through Jesus Christ His Son. You must receive Him for yourself. Genuine repentance and salvation will always have a turning away from sin. All who call upon the name of The Lord shall be saved. Are you saved?

PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS

have made the earth, “I and created man upon it” (The Bible, King James Version, Isaiah 45.12) If this statement by God is true, it has important implications for every one of us. There are no shades of meaning in such a clear announcement: it is either true or false. The decision we come to, individually, as to the truth of these words, will govern our entire outlook on life and its purpose. If the statement is false then the Bible cannot be trusted, and God – if He exists at all – is a liar, and no different from the false gods of idolatry. If, on the other hand, the statement is true then there is a living God of design, order and purpose.

Either way, such a momentous declaration demands our consideration and response. What is your personal verdict? Is the statement true or false?

As with any important decision, facts need to be weighed.

As we observe the wonders of the natural world around us, or the immeasurable expanse of the skies above, our innate curiosity makes us consider their origin. Many in the scientific community press us to believe the theory of evolution, and that everything we observe originated in a ‘Big Bang’ out of which, eventually, there came the amazing precision and order of the world around us. However, one of the most fundamental principles of science, the Second Law of

Thermodynamics, shows that all processes manifest a tendency toward decay and disintegration (entropy). In simple terms, any ordered system, left to itself, will ultimately become disordered. How then did the precision, order and beauty of the universe develop out of a cataclysmic explosion of matter?

The apostle Paul wrote “the invisible things of him [God] from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they [unrighteous men] are without excuse” (Romans 1.20). The visible wonders of the world around us will reveal the invisible things of God to all who are ready to see them. By attributing the origin of the world, and himself, to a ‘Big Bang’ that is itself contrary to honest scientific observation, man wilfully goes against his instinctive acknowledgment of a divine hand in the natural order around him. Whether we observe the macro- or micro-systems of the universe, we find the evidence of order, design and purpose. That surely indicates there must be, behind it all, an Architect, a Designer – God! One day, Paul was preaching in Athens and addressing the superstitious heathenism of his listeners. He told them, “God that made the world and all things therein … and hath made of one

blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth … now commandeth all men everywhere to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17.2431).

Paul’s Gospel message that day was based upon the responsibility of his hearers to acknowledge God and His claims upon them. God’s righteousness demands the repentance of sinful rebels, and they are identified - all men, everywhere. The Lord Jesus Christ, who came to be our Saviour through the sacrifice of Himself at Calvary, now raised from the dead and exalted, is the appointed Judge of all. The One who lives to be your Saviour today, if rejected, will be your Judge in a day to come. The divine command to repent depends on the truth of the words that Isaiah recorded. I believe they are true.

PARLIAMENT BLOG & TIDE TIMES

Many issues come across my desk as MP for Moray but one of the most concerning recently has been the temporary closure of the children’s ward at Dr Gray’s.

It will no longer operate 24 hours a day meaning children must travel to either Raigmore or Aberdeen if they need an overnight stay.

The general shortage of junior doctors and their perceived unwillingness to locate to Moray is at the root of the problem. Once here, people can see the attraction of living in Moray but we need to do more to get them here in the first place.

If we are to ensure these changes to the children’s ward are just a temporary measure, we all need to work together to look at how we can attract more professionals to Moray.

I spent the summer months on a surgery tour engaging with many constituents and numerous businesses on the issues that matter most to them.

Travelling far and wide across the Highlands and Islands, there were three major issues that were continually on the minds of constituents and businesses alike.

Firstly, in every corner of the Highlands there was an ever-growing frustration that the region remains stuck in the slow lane when it comes to internet speeds.

Secondly, there are deep concerns over the NHS Highland staffing crisis which is leading to hospital closures as well as fears that proposed redesigns of health services are not addressing local needs.

Thirdly, the North Coast 500 has been great boost for Highland tourism; however, it is clear that extra infrastructure is required urgently to cope with the higher volume of traffic on our roads.

As the Scottish Parliament returns I will be pushing the Scottish Government every day to improve rural connectivity, address the NHS Highland crisis and upgrade infrastructure on the North Coast 500.

With Parliament back in session in September, I was absolutely delighted to welcome a special constituent to the Scottish Parliament this month. Erin Fraser from Seafield Primary School in Elgin was invited to the Scottish Parliament by Nicola Sturgeon after she chose to write her school report on the First Minister.

Erin and her Dad visited Parliament for a meeting with the First Minister and I was delighted to be on hand to take her for lunch and to give her a tour of Holyrood. With Moray being a wee bit of a distance from the Scottish Parliament I don’t get the pleasure of constituents visiting all that often. So it was really special to welcome Erin to Holyrood and to hear about her ambitions of being First Minister one day.

Entertainment

THE DROUTHY COBBLER

October sees a dizzying array of music and comedy make its way to The Drouthy Cobbler’s upstairs venue.

The month kicks off with rising Scottish star, Callum Beattie. Playing with big names, including James Arthur and fresh from the release of his debut EP, expect big things from this talented musician. The Drouthy’s music offering continues with the artistic electro sound of The Howl and The Hum, followed by the acoustic bliss of John Smith. Smith has performed alongside the likes of Jackson Browne, Richard Hawley, and Jarvis Cocker.

A triple line-up of Huxtable, Twin Heart, and Broadsea on the 13 October, followed by Glasgow-based Tijuana Bibles on 18 October, adds an alt-rock flavour to the month. Their raw, energetic sound is matched by an 8-piece bombardment of good time funkiness as The Oxbow Lake Band bring their upbeat melodies to The Drouthy on October 20th.

October’s musical offering rounds off with former members of Scottish cult-folk outfit Harem Scarem, Eilidh Shaw and Ross Martin on 26 October, followed by Trad 5-piece from Denmark, Himmerland, who bring their heady mix of old and new tunes to Elgin on 28 October.

Peppering a packed month of music is The Drouthy Cobbler’s monthly comedy club. Always on the last Wednesday of the month, the night features old favourites and emerging talent. On 6th October, the Elgin venue welcomes the hilarious Susie McCabe with her clever and side-splitting new show, Let’s Get Physical, fresh from a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe.

UK FRANCHISE OF THE YEAR RUNNER UP

2013

The Moss Season Approaches !

We live in cool maritime climate, which is ideal for moss to thrive. You cannot change the weather, and you cannot banish moss permanently, but you can control its’ infestation with some basic good husbandry, and a

be done by hand with a spring rake, but some mechanical help is really the best option for anything more than quite a small lawn. You can hire a blade scarifier for the day at some garden machinery centres, but be warned, these are pretty vicious machines and it’s only too easy to “plough” your garden, and then need a new lawn ! An “average” lawn usually takes 2 experienced crew half a day to do with machines and blowers.

The best time to tackle this is either side of Christmas.

Scarifying is never recommended in the growing season because the very nature of the exercise is pretty traumatic for the grass, and some recovery time is required, during which time it looks pretty shabby. Doing it off-season allows recovery, then you put on a spring feed, and have a season of decent grass to mow. Enjoy !

bit of work. I’m talking about scarifying again of course.

This will also be featuring in all the TV gardening programmes and magazines about now, and it is what we at GreenThumb spend all winter doing. We will have 3 heavy blade scarifier machines out clearing (at the last count) 1,000 lawns round here. – oh joy !

Scarifying moss and thatch out is undertaken to clear the lawn surface of all the dead material and moss to allow fresh grass plants to dominate the lawn environment, providing the best conditions for absorbsion of sunlight, moisture and nutrients. If this task is overlooked (or avoided), the following season there is even more build-up, and in no time, the lawn is more moss than grass.

For more information about seasonal lawn improvements from just £11.25 per mth, plus useful downloads and photos, go to www.greenthumb.co.uk. Although GreenThumb is a national franchise with over 200 branches across the UK, we are locally based in Nairnshire and cover the whole Moray Firth area.

Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Confidential

Potato and Orange Cake Gluten free The wintery season is upon us. For these changing months why not make something homely and comforting for those days indoors for the whole family to enjoy.

Ingredients: 250g butter 1 1/2 cups caster sugar 3 cups ground almonds Zest of 6 oranges 6 eggs 5 cups mashed potatoes 6tsp baking powder Method: Line a 12inch baking tray with tinfoil and then greaseproof paper. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.

Gradually beat the mashed potato into the butter mixture along with the orange zest, followed by the ground almonds and baking powder.

Tip into the prepared tin and bake for an hour, checking after 45 minutes.

Juice the zested oranges and add 1 cup of caster sugar, boil to form a syrup. Using a cocktail stick or skewer poke holes in the top of the cake and pour the syrup over.

Leave to cool and serve with whipped cream.

Enjoy!!

Higgis Pakora

We arrived and were welcomed by the staff and then taken to our table.

The table was nicely set and had a candle lit on it. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and felt relaxing. We were given Menus and our drinks order was taken.

For starters, Susan had the Hand Dived Scallops with Black Pudding with a Pomegranate and Beetroot Puree and I chose the Haggis Pakora in a light crispy batter with a Whisky and Wholegrain Mustard Sauce. Both dishes were presented beautifully on the plate and tasted very flavoursome.

There were many different options of Mains to choose from - including Seafood, Poultry, Meat and Vegetarian. Susan chose the Seabass Fillet Kurdish Kuba with Sizzled Ginger, Chilli and Spring Onion, on a bed of Crushed New Potatoes, Savoy Cabbage and Sautéed Leek, whilst I chose the Kurdish Kuba - oval rice balls stuffed with lamb biryani, pistachio, walnuts and delicious Kurdish spice with a roasted aubergine and courgette tipsi. Both dishes were absolutely bursting with flavour and all the different ingredients blended together. The Kurdish kuba is one of Ozzys traditional dishes, it didn't disappoint and was delicious.

For dessert, Susan had the Brandy Basket filled with Vanilla and Banoffee ice cream with Brandy Glazed Banana and I had the Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch sauce and Vanilla ice cream. The desserts were tasty and thoroughly enjoyed.

Ozzy came out to greet us and made sure we had enjoyed our meal when we had finished. He was very friendly and made us feel welcome.

Brandy Basket

Ozzy Ali’s is a fine dining restaurant and has well presented food which tastes amazing. There are many different options to choose from throughout the menu and they can also make cocktails. The meat is bought locally from Munro’s Dingwall Butcher. I would highly recommend Ozzy Ali’s and will definitely going back for another meal in the future.

S

eptember is a fantastic time for really getting ahead in the garden. Often when you get the clippers out in the earlier summer months, it seems that things grow back so quickly that you’re chasing your own tail!

September is a good time to give your hedges a final cut of the year for example – there won’t be much more growth till next spring, but you’re unlikely to expose the hedging plants to any hard frosts that they’re not going to enjoy over the coming weeks. If you’ve got your clippers out remember that plants are pretty tough things on the whole and, as a very general rule, people tend to be too shy with their pruning.

Here are a few DOs & DON'Ts for garden jobs this month –

t DO give any of your hedges a final trim of the year. t DO aerate any boggy patches in your lawn and rake in some sharp sand. Make sure you don't use 'soft' sand (sometimes know as 'builders' sand') t DO apply an autumn lawn feed. This will stimulate your

grass roots, and will not cause vigorous sward growth. t DO add a high potassium feed to beds (like a ‘fish, blood & bone’ mix) to feed your plants’ roots. Be aware that some dogs, especially one in particular (mine), enjoy rolling around in and eating this kind of fertilizer, given half a chance… t DO get some spring bulbs planted, Daffodils and Crocus should ideally go in this month. t DO divide herbaceous perennials.

t DON’T use a high nitrogen feed on your plants or grass.

This would stimulate vigorous leaf growth that may get damaged by October frosts. t DON’T cut your grass too short as you get towards your final grass cut, this is to ensure that your grass plants (for that is what each blade of grass is!) do not enter the dormant period while under stress. t DON’T forget to water your plants during any dry spells.

Don’t think that just because it is a bit cold or overcast that your plants won’t be missing the rain, even if you’re not!

With a bit of luck, as we emerge from the rainy season of August, we will be rewarded with some bright early autumn days when we can enjoy our gardens. Whether that is by having a barbecue, pottering around getting some gardening done, or munching on the last of this year’s fat wild raspberries is up to you. I plan on doing all three!
