More National Trust

So, after I got back from the 0800 and 1000 services, we headed off to Ickworth House, another National Trust property, and one which Si and D recommended to us, for the adventure playground, if nothing else. We had a very good time, and both girls did lots of running (or, in Miri's case, waddling fast) around. The adventure playground was, indeed, excellent, and both both Miri and Jo had a good time. We were just packing up when the rain started to come down pretty hard, so we were pretty pleased with ourselves.

I'm slowly getting better at the choreography involved with deaconing. Remembered the corporal at the 0800, at least. Got a couple of other bits wrong, but not too bad. I took the first part of the 1000 at Greenstead Green (a team service, though Viv wasn't there as she was ill), which went very well. I also deaconed at the altar for John, though he prepared the elements. We had to get extra wine ready (we realised in time), but then I came over with the lavabo, rather than the water in the cruet (apparently it really is called that), so we used that, as we were getting behind. I'd point out that we used the water _before_ John washed his hands.

Mel seems to have had a rather good hen night...

coreographed Deaconing- good grief, Praise God for Methodism!!!!
 
Hallelujah sister, and pass the over-sized dead animal that Methodist old ladies wear for a hat...

I carefully and correctly set up everything for our visiting priest. Got it all right for the first time in 8 weeks. And then found out I was hopelessly wrong as my incumbent is left-handed and he wanted everything the other way round....
 
rotfl... G!!!

as for Methodist headgear- none to be seen around here... just hair.... blue rinsed hair granted but no dead animals!
