You haven't got long!

As I am not working at the moment, I try to scrounge lifts in town whenever! With the view of saving some diesel. At lunch time, my hubby announced that he was leaving for town now! I was ready so off we went through the door then he asked me about the letter! Oups it was still there on the table in the hall! When we arrived in Stafford, he dropped me at the cinema. Don't forget, you haven't got long!
I walked all the way to the post office which is in WHSmith. This took me 10 minutes. No need to queue!
I picked up a book on Publishing companies and read two pages about ghost-writing. Interesting facts. I'd heard about it but didn't think it developed so much!
Time was ticking so I went back to Tesco through the park and took those photos. Right on time for a change.
What a beautiful day, a bit cold but so bright!

Hubby and I

I have a question for you! How do you deal with interruptions when you are blogging? Let me know! Have a blessed night/day! N.

A great day, parade in Stafford...

Saturday, we had a few bits to sort out in town and we forgot there was a parade. Well, we caught the end of it! It was a glorious day, the sun was out and it seemed everybody was out, happy and content. Teenagers were everywhere, socializing outside the cafes. on the way to the park! What a great day!

Chennai challenge

Imogen is over the moon or shall I say delighted because she has been accepted on the Chennai challenge run in Stafford by youth workers Cathy and Robert Short.
She is going to spend three weeks immersed in real life South India supporting the work of dedicated local leaders who run this charity project for Chennai's destitute children and young people.
Her friend Lizzie is going too and they can't wait!
Each team member needs to fundraise their trip and programme  minimum of £1400. 
Blessings. Yours in Christ. N.
