All go last weekend ...

[Derek]

Sun morning dawned and we headed over the syle right by our house into the church yard ..


We had volunteered to help our friends serve mince pies and mulled wine at the end of the evning service because it was the first sunday of advent
This is the Church we back on to ... it has just started celebrating its 900th Year on where it has stood ...

[Derek]

We started taking the portable cooker from the church hall over and all the bits and pieces needed just b4 the morning service finished. We were setting up at the bottom of the bell tower.


It was very cold .. we waited until the congregation came out

[Derek]

A Celtic Cross in the Graveyard .. there are dozens of different ones there .. one day I will take some pics of more and post them


The Church Interior after the congregation had left


The Font

[Derek]

Only a few more pics to go ..
This pic is from the the bottom of the bell tower about 45min b4 the evening service was starting .. We shut the big door in front of us while the service was on so we could warm up and prepare the mulled wine and mince pies


Then I had to go back home and get something Elaine had forgotten so took this pic on the way back ...


Here we are in the bell tower

[Derek]

The mince pies ready to go into the warmer


The Mulled Wine brewing


The Mulled Wine and the maker having a taste to taste it ok

[Derek]

And finally, after everyone had their wine and pies they made their way home ... the church had been full but in the pic this lot were coming back for 'seconds' and 'thirds'



So when thats happens there is only one thing to do


Hope u enjoyed the pics ....
