Celebrant Neil I'm a sports-mad, dog-loving, big bike riding globetrotting chap with a love of the outdoors I like to have a laugh. 😅😆😁.

a wee bit about me...I'm an optimist, an all-round-believer in no such thing as an ordinary life. My non-religious ceremonies are a really happy occassion. Every ceremony is designed to your choices, to encompass your beliefs and requirements. Imagine a ceremony that marks a major life event in a way that is personal, sincere, and honest…perhaps welcoming a much-loved baby to the world with a b

Or celebrating a couple’s marriage in a way that is sincere, warm, loving and genuine, that’s about the two of them and their relationship, and is full laughter and perhaps a few happy tears too. Or a funeral that focuses on the person who had died and the life they led – not on the idea of an afterlife – but recalling the happy times, the loving times - and provides a dignified and sincere way of saying goodbye.

Last wedding of the year for me. And where better then the beautifully decorated Banff Springs Hotel for the marriage of Ellie & Harry from Insch. They lit a candle in memory of loved ones no longer with us and exchanged beautifully crafted self- composed vows. Now they're set for a lifetime of wonder: of shared dreams, quiet mornings, wild adventures, and love that deepens like the roots of an ancient tree—stronger, steadier, more beautiful with every passing year.
As the new Mr & Mrs Chalmers. ❤

The ruling requires that RE should not proselytise or indoctrinate, and that parental right of withdrawal alone from RE and collective worship is not a sufficient justification for having a non-objective, uncritical, or non-pluralistic syllabus.

RE in Northern Ireland is almost entirely Christian, with only one module on ‘World Faiths’ at secondary school level. The core syllabus was written by the four big churches and starts with ‘LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1: THE REVELATION OF GOD’.

This judgment is a historic win for the rights of children in Northern Ireland. The Supreme Court has concluded that the RE syllabus is 'indoctrination' and the right to withdraw from RE and mandatory collective worship is insufficient to deal with this.

a wee bit about me...

I'm a sports-mad, globetrotting chap with a love of the wild, natural history, big bikes, dogs and all the good things in life...an optimist, an all-round-believer in no such thing as an ordinary life.
