Church

Went to Church this morning. Don't want to say too much as I don't want my location identified, but it is rather old and has a lot of history attached. I really love listening to the choir, who are very good. They usually sing an introit and a couple of anthems or an anthem and a psalm. Our minister is a good man. He is very stimulating and will preach sermons on all sorts of topics, including a series of sermons discussing the relationship between the ideas of some of the major philosophers and Christianity. He doesn't pull his punches sometimes and obviously has not a lot of time for politicians. On the other hand he can be very supportive in times of trouble.

On one particular occasion, his Call to Worship of "God is our refuge and our strength; a very present help in time of trouble" kept me going through a bad week. I think he knew what was happening in the lives of several of the members of his congregation at that time.

Had a little chat to several people. I am starting to get to know more and more after living here for 2 years. Beginning to feel more at home.

Today is a lovely sunny day, at last. The roses are in bloom and some new plants put in against the wall opposite are starting to flourish.

Mind you, for some reason it took me about 6 goes to reverse park my car. Managed 40 years of driving without ever having to learn, but need to now as parking is rather tight. Seems that if I don't get it right first time, I takes ages. Still often I do manage first time, so it just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks...
