I saw a TV documentary recently about the Roman Invasions and whether or not the phrase veni, vidi, vici (which I am told means I came, I saw, I conquered) was actually used or not. I guess we will never know but it did make me think about my own Christmas Day and the phrase that comes to mind for me was “I woke, I rose, I survived the day!� At least for another year anyway!

PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS Well, we are now on our way through 2014, hopefully you are not still recovering from all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas and New Year festivities.

As I watched and listened to all the activity that goes on over the Christmas period, I started to ask a question as to the purpose of the time of year.

What does Christmas mean to most people?

The level of commercialism seems to gain new heights every year, with more and more spending which can lead to financial pressures which has to be dealt with the following year, just in time for the next Christmas period, then the cycle starts again.

Is that the original message of Christmas?

I know the original story talks of the Wise Men bearing gifts, but I don’t believe that it was meant to put us under pressure to give.

Giving should be a joy, from our heart of generosity, not a false expectation that we should give beyond our means.

The message that denotes the time of year just past is the wonderful truth that God has sent His one and only Son into the world, not to judge and condemn us, but to save us.

That is the good news of Christmas.

And that is the difference between Christianity and religion.

I used to think that they were the same thing, sour faced people dressed in black with big hats and ready and willing to be judgemental and condescending.

But I have found that there is a massive difference between the two.

Religion is mankind trying to please God by a misguided sense of piety, while condemning others around them.

Christianity is God reaching out to mankind with a message of hope, love, grace, mercy and forgiveness, through His Son Jesus Christ.

The message that Christ brings means that sinful humans, which includes you and me, now have the opportunity to ask Jesus into our lives so that our wrongdoing can be washed clean, and we receive His right standing before God, that isn’t a bad exchange.

He wants to exchange our old life with a new life.

The Bible says it this way in John 3:1-3, “Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.’

Jesus answered him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” Some people think that that is too

simplistic to be true, or that it is nonsense.

Some don’t believe that God exists at all and that we cease to exist when we die.

But Jesus proves that there is a God, and that He wants to have a relationship with each and every one of us, if we let Him. And that is the key, if we will let Him. I pray that 2014 will be the year that you ask Him into your heart, and as you repent of (or turn away from) the wrong lifestyle, ask Him to forgive you of all the hurt you have caused, and as you forgive others who have hurt you, then the promise is that you can have a relationship with Him, which continues on into eternity.

Many millions of people around the world are walking in this relationship with Jesus Christ, and know the blessings that it brings.

As one famous preacher once said, there are no atheists in hell, all now believe, but it is too late for them.

Believe in Him now and change your eternal destination. Don’t be put off by Christians like me, look at what Jesus is offering and at His character.

We aren’t perfect but He is.

May God bless each one that reads this article, and that the peace of God will be evident throughout the year.

PARLIAMENT BLOG & TIDE TIMES

Parliament Blog

The end of January sees Holocaust Memorial Day marked, which remembers victims of the holocaust. The theme of this year’s remembrance was ‘journeys’ - the journeys that holocaust victims were forced to undertake and the journeys we should all be making to create a better world and prevent such atrocities occurring again. I have been to visit former concentration camps at Auschwitz and elsewhere along with students from Moray secondary schools and they have been incredibly moving journeys where we have heard the experiences of holocaust survivors.

Equality and fairness is at the heart of how I approach my work as an MP and there are few more moving examples of why this is so important to the decisions that we all take on a day-today basis.

Angus Robertson MP

Clavie burning at Burghead has marked the old New Year of the 11th January and it is a real family occasion. As a regular visitor to the event it is great to take my two boys down, who are both full of ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhhs’ at the fiery spectacle.

When I was first elected for Moray I took the parliamentary oath holding a piece of Clavie, which is reputed to bring good luck.

The Clavie burning always brings back memories of moving to Moray and, with the family feel, it is definitely one of my favourite Moray events!

There were so many superlatives bouncing across the dinner table that fittingly describe our visit to The 1629 Restaurant in Lossiemouth on the last weekend of the Old Year.

These included “stunning,” “magnificent,” “heavenly,” “superb,” “exquisite” and many more – not only in recognition of the delights eaten, but also to reflect the marvelous friendliness and impeccable service offered by all the staff involved in creating a memorable evening.

From the outset we were made to feel really special with every attention to detail. There are menus to suit all tastes; ‘Supper,’ ‘A la carte’ and ‘Specials’ - each with a mouth-watering array of delights to tempt us - and friendly staff to explain the dishes where necessary!

As starters we tried three dishes which were Lobster Bisque, Cullen Skink and Haggis Cannelloni. The Lobster Bisque was “to die for” especially as, tucked under the surface, was a whole lobster claw (shelled of course) that was “huge” and “gorgeous” to eat.

My Cullen Skink was more than excellent (and I am a bit of a Cullen Skink expert!). It was full of delicate flakes of smoked haddock and other fish too, I believe, together with generous pieces of potato, and it was probably the creamiest of soups I’ve ever tasted.

The Haggis Cannelloni was selected from the ‘Scottish Specials’ board and was accompanied by typically Mediterranean sauce – tomatoes, chorizo, herbs, spices and more. What a terrific start!!

The Wine List was most extensive, and those who wanted wine enjoyed a pleasing and smooth carafe of the house red.

Again we had three different main courses; a Salmon dish, Scampi and a Chicken with Wild Mushroom sauce. That sounds like simplicity itself, but the way these simple foods were prepared, cooked and served left us swooning with pleasure. My Chicken with Wild Mushroom sauce on a bed of rice was divine – slices of chicken breast in a creamy sauce of really tasty baby wild mushrooms, all infused expertly with basil and other herbs. The Salmon was cooked to perfection and was lying on a bed of crushed prawn and mackerel pieces aided by yet another deeply and well-flavoured sauce. The Scampi were large, succulent and lightly battered (though bread crumbed scampi was also available) and the accompanying chips were “beautiful.” The homemade Tartare Sauce was so creamy that fingers were constantly being dipped into it!!

Homemade Lemon Meringue pie was our choice of dessert which we shared between us.

It was deep and dreamy - the lemon filling was not tart and seemed to include a hint of mango, and the meringue not overly sweet, which can often be the case. Mmm! The whole evening was an absolute delight. No less than 6 friendly faces regularly appeared to ensure that our evening would pass without a hitch and that we would leave happy. There was no waiting to have dirty plates removed or empty glasses taken away. Similarly there was only a short break between courses. Our grateful thanks go to David, his daughter’s Erin and Julie, the chefs and all the waiting staff for making one meal an experience to remember.

We recommend that you go there soon – and remember to book as it can get quite busy!

Dreaming of...

MOROCCO A very popular destination currently is Morocco.

This amazing country has thrived on being at the north end of the Sahara Desert and on the trade route to Europe. We spent three nights in Marrakech, 3 nights in the Atlas Mountains and 3 nights on the West coast.

In Marrakech we walked for miles taking in all the sights, sounds and smells which make it such an extraordinary and vibrant city. We enjoyed the Djemaa El Fna Square with its music, snake charmers, street entertainers and stalls selling delicious freshly squeezed orange juice and in the evening hundreds of barbeques seem to appear from nowhere.

The rabbit warren of the Souks are unlike anything we had seen before. We stayed in a wonderful Riad within the Medina. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly and our room combined Moroccan style with a contemporary twist and we enjoyed being able to lie back and rest on our own roof terrace. It was one of the best places we have ever stayed in but was a world away from what we found outside the Riad and by the time we moved on we had really had enough of being hassled endlessly to buy things. Beware the carpet stores, serving peppermint tea and being very persuasive!

From Marrakech we went into the Atlas Mountains for three nights of peace and tranquillity.

The weather was lovely and we enjoyed a few walks through the hills passing small hamlets where children who appeared from nowhere were not sure whether to hide or ask for 'bonbons' and ‘stylos’ (pencils). We were then driven west across the country to Essaouira, a charming fortified emplacement created by the Portuguese in the 15th Century, which is now an unspoilt fishing port – not a bar or club to be seen! We found excellent fish restaurants and stayed in another excellent Riad with a roof top pool. There are miles of lovely beaches and at other times of the year the Atlantic breezes attract windsurfers. The early morning drive back to Marrakech was fantastic – it was market day in one of the towns and we watched hundreds of men riding across fields on donkeys draped with panniers bringing their wares to market – it was an unforgettable and almost biblical sight.

Morocco is ideal for a long weekend or for longer multi-centre journeys as we did. Riads are smaller boutique hotels with central atriums open to the skies and roof terraces, negating the need for widows to the exterior, and Kasbahs are larger guest houses with grounds – both are generally very characterful and certainly a contrast to a normal city hotel. Temperatures in the towns and cities are comfortable all year round, becoming hotter from June to October, and being really at their hottest from July to September.

Evenings tend to be cooler, and in the mountains it can also be cooler all of the time. The local currency is the Moroccan Dirham, not generally available outside the country, but it gives good value for money.
