Looking West


Not much snow in evidence today, as this shot of the Huntly Gardens proves.
But still cold and wintry looking.

Some of you may have noticed that the 'Green Garter' has been replaced by a 'Blue' one. It's only temporary, it's mostly to protect the workers from the absolutely biting wind whilst they are up on the Fleche finishing off the works. So it is that, while there are some up on 'top', there are also some down below, assisting us in dealing with the aftermath of a burst pipe last Sunday. The damage was in the ancilliary rooms, Thank Goodness!

It has been quite a week, but we are lucky; we still have a building to work from and we still have homes, offices, shops and however much we may moan about it we still have a transportation system in place. As we watch and listen to the latest news of the devasting earthquake in Haiti, we pray that relief may get to the survivors soon.

So this Sunday when we are going to have a Soup and Sandwich lunch after Morning Worship we will give to Christian Aid and send our heartfelt prayers to the people of Haiti.

It is the very least that we can do!

Staircase to Heaven

A friend mentioned The Scaffold's Greatest Hits, the musical analogy continues. Even more Scaffold has arrived. and when I visited on Thursday the men were very busy constructing a ----- Staircase to Heaven! No kidding, the front scaffolding towers are not tied in to the walls so the strengthening and buttressing supports have meant that the Contractors are able to build a Staircase and not just use ladders. Very secure it looks too, So eventually the Fabric Team will don their PPE and scale the heights. The Structural Engineer has also inspected and has declared that he is very happy with the Works Progress. Today the Concrete arrives which will be poured into the new big hole, which will form the foundation for Truss 3 N. Gosh it's all go this week.

August Garden Parties

At KH there has been a tradition of having a Garden Party (or parties!) to allow members and friends to come together at the appropriate time to carry out essential works in the garden grounds. Yesterday was one of those days, and the rain did stop and the sun did come out! Firstly, many thanks to those who turned out and contributed their time and energy, and special thanks to Ann Shill for the yummy sandwiches. Our youngest labourer took great delight in sowing the seeds of the Wildflower Meadow, showing great interest in the different sizes and colours of seed, while Mum raked and prepared the ground! Office-bound workers enjoyed their blisters (I hope) proof of their hard work - and a chance for my new First Aid Kit to be used. And what was very pleasant was being able to actually do a little proper gardening apart from just the hard work of cutting grass and hedges! New gardeners were surprised at just how extensive the grounds actually are. Alas; because of Parked c...
