Hello! It's me!

Peek-a-boo!
Oops! I've been remiss, and haven't blogged for a while now---but I'm back and wow!

'Doors Open Day' and the initial forecast for the Saturday was Heavy Rain! Then it changed last night and a light rain shower was spoken off. This duly dropped on us this morning and then BLUE SKIES ! 

Standing in the doorway I looked up at a crystal clear sky and there, looking down on us was one of KH's resident Gargoyles.  Almost as if he was laughing at us.  We were certainly smiling at him.

A day with some old and also hopefully new friends.  A church dressed to celebrate Harvest.
 The Old Father Willis Organ behaving impeccably as the first of our organists entertained us with a selection of music.
There were Talks including:
'Restoration of the Fleche'
'Glass Walls'
'Flights of Fancy' and
'How to read THIS Church'
(You could choose to have Coffee and Home-baking before or after) Many chose to stay with us for quite some time enjoying the atmosphere within the Sanctuary---there was space for all.
For us, it also proved well worthwhile, managing to publish our Guide to the Church in Polish. (Many Thanks Bob!)

 So after a busy day with nigh on 240 visitors; we plan to do it again tomorrow.

The snow held off this morning and the Contractors were hopeful of taking down 4 'flights' of scaffold before Christmas. however it was deemed too dangerous for that this morning. 'What about the weather vane?' I asked. 'Well we;ll see how it is the afternoon and we've got a back-up with the Steeplejacks if necessary' said Hunter & Clark. Off I went on errands and on my return driving along Queen Margaret Drive I noticed that the scaffold around Oran Mor had been taken down and then I noticed a 'High -vis' figure on top of our Fleche which clothed in its scaffold looks a bit like a pineapple over the roof tops of Grosvenor Terrace. Once it was safe to do so, I of course took photos of Archie and Craig tackling the re-installation of our very own 'Chanticleer' All this was of course whilst the snow was coming down again. Hard! However the Task was successfully accomplished. Thank You both, very much. It is much appreciated by all of us at ...

Re-Dedication Service

The clean-up team have been in this week! Many thanks to them---they know who they are! The Sanctuary is looking much cleaner and shinier now. Final clean-up on Friday! We are all looking forward to the Service on Saturday which Alastair Cherry will conduct, lots of people have said they are able to come and the weather forecast is favourable. One little word, the Church is still technically a Building Site, So please pay heed to the advice of the Stewards and remain on the permitted side of any roped-off areas. Hard Hats will not be neccessary.

Return from the brink?!

Don't do it! It does seem a little strange, but I think this is the second photo of this very hardworking person "up close and personal" with a window. Although the last time we managed to have the window brought down from on high for her close inspection. Whatever, the gist of all this is; that this particular property owned by the Congregation is now ready for a new tenant. As explained during the 'At-Home Sessions' this will be an extra source of income for the Congregation. A lot of work by a lot of people has gone into achieving this, and cleaning the windows on a glorious Autumn afternoon has been just part of it.
