I sometimes feel as if the rain will never stop, then I look at the News and see what devastation has been caused by a cyclone in India - Half a Million people affected! All things pale into consideration -  Then I think am I scared of heights - Not if I'm careful! I really would like to see St Cecilia face to face again - especially as a technology malfunction has meant that I've lost a lot of photographs taken when KH was decked with scaffolding before, many have been retrieved but the tower on the Burne Jones Window just might give me the opportunity to retake some.  Then I also remember how happy I was to be up high on a ship's look out tower. SO I'm thinking I'm going to get a new boat, an Ark perhaps?

Guess what arrived back in the Church yesterday? Can you spot the difference? More info later, but for now a great big 'Thank-You' to Susan Bradbury. The cleaned and restored windows in the Baptistry are wonderful and really show the skills of todays conservators.

OK! Here is the clarification of the very brisk post late last week. The small 'Children's Windows' are to be repaired and restored. I did feel that it was only fair that the Congregation of KH should hear the news first. and they were delighted by the announcement on Sunday. Here follows the official News Release. The Congregation of Kelvinside Hillhead has been able to restore 6 of the Church windows over the last few years and continues to work towards raising funds to restore this magnificent A-listed place of worship in the heart of Glasgow’s West End. Thanks to a 'doors-open' policy at weekends which the congregation runs, local people and visitors to the city regularly come and look around the church The large Memorial Window which has recently been restored by Stained Glass Design Partnership shows the skilled craftsmanship and capabilities of that team of conservators and artists. Susan Bradbury, of Stained Glass Design Partnership was present last Satu...

The Teacher Memorial Window was re-dedicated today, lots of friends and neighbours came and the sun shone as well.-------A Good Day? More a Great Day! The entire event showed what teamwork can do, and the Team Worked well. Everyone had their bit to do and all did their bit------well! Even the building had its part to play, allowing many new friends to discover just what a marvelous performance space it is. How many of those at the Service today didn't swallow hard when the Last Post was played ? I sincerely hope that we can hear Mark play the trumpet in the Sanctuary again.
