Today has dawned with clear skies after the rain, hail and blusteryness of the past few days.  Fitting, perhaps, as a nation rests after the festive busyness.

A great day, yesterday. 

Forty or so folk ventured out for morning worship, cafe style, round the lunch tables, with drinks and festive goodies on arrival.

Fifty or so for lunch (the people kept a comin' and the train done gone) which was a fantastic atmosphere, delicious food and wonderful organisers and servers.

A swift visit to a couple of folk spending Christmas in hospital (I'm pretty sure than that makes at least 8 out of the last 10 years that's been the case)

Some feel good TV (Last Tango in Halifax on i-player was great; not sure about Dr Who (and some very unimpressed comments by whovians on social media!))

Today I have to stir my stumps, get up to church to retrieve various bits 'n' bobs left there over the last couple of days, and work out something for Sunday's service that it is a bit more appealing than leftover turkey sandwiches!!

Whatever yoyur day brings, gentle reader, I do hope that it includes rest, refreshment and moments to savour.
