Firsts

We received our first Christmas card today and as this is Advent Sunday it was also the day that the first candle on the Advent Wreath in St Mary's Church was lit during this morning's service. After the service we enjoyed lunch together with most of the congregation at an Advent Lunch in the Cantelupe Centre. Christmas starts here!

Advent of course is a time of waiting and preparation for the coming of Jesus and each candle in the Advent Wreath has a different symbolism. The first candle is the Candle of Hope to celebrate the hope we have in Jesus Christ.

Living It Up

No mention of cinemas and architecture today as it is a significant birthday and what better way to celebrate than a slap up meal of fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter with a mug of hot steaming tea to wash it all down.


Yes we really know how to live it up. I really enjoyed lunch with the family and they can all now officially call me a senior citizen!
