Got a new Boat!

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?

All of them have different tasks to complete, just keep your fingers crossed that all goes smoothly! And that list doesn't include the chap who's going to be outside, dealing with the Land Drains! But before all that we have our Festive Trumpets Concert on Saturday Night. One to really enjoy!

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 littl...
