And so it continues

Yes, really - I'm about to write a rather belated 'next' post!
I've just been on a two night Synod Ministers' 'Get Together'. It was held in a conference centre outside the village where I was brought up - at the venue used to be a girls' boarding school which was run by the nuns from the adjacent convent.
My mum was school nurse/matron there for a few years and when we were yuong my brother and I used to spend half term holiday days at the school.

So not only was this a 'working' conference but it was also a return to childhood haunts - particularly during free time one afternoon when I was part of an expedition to the village and around the local 'heath'.
It was interesting to note how some things seemed to have changed - one lane in particular seemed very much narrower and the houses less grand than I recalled, but the fishing lakes and village post office had hardly changed

As for the conference, I have to confess I was less than whole hearted about attending as a similar one last September had not been a very positive experience. However, what a difference a year makes - to say nothing of different venue and chemistry being produced by those attending. The time was both informative and relaxing and a most positive experience.

Now it's back to the routine (?!) and preparation for Church meeting followed by the first session of a six seek course on 'Ministry for Older People. - should be an interesting course.
Perhaps i'll even get around to musing about it on here!

Who knows.......
