Fleche Revealed!


The weather, once again had a delaying effect on the planned works this week. However the scaffold is now down from around the Fleche and the slaters are busy fixing slates. The Boiler Room has had the essential fire-retardant repairs carried out that particular job is close to completion. The next (and final) part of the works will be the repairs to the High Parapet Gutters. So the beginning of March is looking like our 'completion date'.

Just to prove how fickle the weather is I'm inserting a photo of the Fleche when it was partly revealed last Saturday when the Blue Skies and Golden Stones showed just how dramatic the Building we have.


As I was standing in Observatory Road looking up at the building, before I'd got my camera out, another shopper walking by, made the remark of just how wonderful the building when the sun shines on it.

It is indeed said I.

Sometimes it takes a Stranger to jolt us away from the nitty gritty of all the toil and strife .

It was indeed wonderful, just to stand there and admire.

And thanks be, I wasn't the only one.

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...

A Tidy Mind!

So we hit the deck running this week, First task on Monday Morning was a meeting with the Lead Architect and the Contractors to re-cap where we were when all work was put on hold and also to sort out the tidying up "Our Building Site" The Repair work at KH was originally organised around Church Life, and that will continue, the Congregation and all of the Hall Users will continue to meet in the Hall while the Contractors will carry on working upstairs in the Sanctuary. This is not the normal way of carrying out one of these major projects, I do like to think that perhaps we at KH blazed a trail. I think there is nothing worse than a Community building all wrapped up in scaffold and portacabins while the the Community who use it get lost in the busy-ness of the work. We are all in this together and hopefully we can all compromise as and when neccesary.
