July 2010!

Who'd have believed it, Here we are halfway through the year.
Visitors still come to visit us at all times of the week, and following a busy Open Church on Saturday afternoon, the evening  Guitar Concert  was a success; such that we had to move the audience (and the performer) into the Main Hall!  The original intention had been  to use the New Session Room, but as it filled up and people started looking for extra chairs the decision was made to quickly move and within 5 minutes over 80 people were more comfortably ensconced in the bigger room. Worth while it was too, Spyros gave us a wonderful performance of classical guitar music. I was so busy enjoying the music that I didn't get a chance to take photos, maybe next time.
This Summer we don't have the BBC Playgroup in the Halls during the week, but some of  the slack has been taken up by our regular groups and some new ones too. Music and Dance seems to be the recurrent theme.

Further little maintenance jobs are being dealt with through the summer, and Roof inspections, Paperwork and lengthy telephone conversations appear to be a major part of the Fabric Convenors job.
However I'm not complaining and tomorrow there is to be a wedding , I do hope the rain stays away at the appropriate times. Also for Sunday, I am looking forward to welcoming Alastair Cherry back to the Pulpit, the Sanctuary was filled with Scaffolding the last time he was here.
(In fact I'm not so sure if Alastair actually has preached from the pulpit? we were 'hors de combat' for a very long time!)
No doubt I'll find out on Sunday.
Which will be the first time he sees this photo which was taken at this year's General Assembly.

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.
