Third Year Running!

It's Official!

October is a Wet and Windy Month.

This last week in October has once again turned out to be one of strong gales with lots of rain.

Convoluted Drainpipes!

It's amazing how easy it is to check, when you consider that this is the 3rd October that I've been blogging about  the Fabric of KH, I can hardly believe it.


For various reasons, today was actually  the first day that I ventured out this week, and I was delighted to see an old friend of KH getting ready to 'do his stuff'; clearing out all the drains within the grounds. Many will be glad to see that the Car Park no longer has a small lake in the bottom corner.  I commented to Alastair of 'Surface Contracts' that it was a horribly rainy day, to which he replied that they tended to get wet and muddy anyway, so the weather didn't really make much difference. 

Still rather them than me.


Anyway it's all timed nicely for another busy Saturday with our Annual Coffee n' Cards where we host a morning where various vendors of Charity Christmas Cards can sell their wares whilst enjoying music, coffee and home-baking.   Held at this time every year, it's always proved to be an enjoyable event.

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.
