About
Desperate Dan, Dundee
We (Ursula and Alan) are Scottish through and through but enjoy living and working in Wiveliscombe, Somerset – a beautiful part of South West England.
Ursula was born and brought up in Dundee where she trained to be a nurse before studying Midwifery at the Simpson Memorial Hospital in Edinburgh. Alan grew up in a village in central Scotland.
We met while studying at the Bible Training Institute (now Glasgow International Christian College) in Glasgow and married in January 1972. Our family of four is grown up and live mainly in the South East of England.
Tayport, Opposite Dundee
For two and a half years we lived and worked in Ayrshire, Scotland. We moved south to Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire in 1973, and then to Chinnor in Oxfordshire in 1979. For twenty three years Alan was one of the pastors of Chinnor Congregational Church. In 2003 we moved to Wiveliscombe, where we both work full time with the Wiveliscombe Evangelical Congregational Church.
