This morning I finished my first sewing task and felt satisfied with the result , hopefully NC will be happy with it when he opens it on Christmas Day .

This afternoon I met my close friend, Polly, for a day time date at the cinema , Wicked ! . We both really enjoyed it , tears fell !

Early this evening I went down to our parish church of St Luke’s for the Food Bank Carol service . The church had fallen onto hard times with an ever dwindling congregation and the building needed a lot of work doing . Happily, money was found from various pots to repair and refurbish it and a new lively vicar with a young family and a heart for community, the young folk in particular, moved in. I’m glad that I went and I think it will provide a much needed community focus point for the neighbourhood but I’m not really drawn . I would have been interested in getting involved with such worthy work once but those days have gone . Other things call me !
