Woke up at around 7 a.m. today and left for Dorking at around 7.30 a.m. I brought up tea but Sara was still sleepy. I did get up in the night to have a look for any Perseids but the sky was very overcast and this morning it was very clear that it had rained quite a bit in the night. The journey to Surrey was not too bad this morning although a car had turned over on the slip road linking the M3 and M25. I still arrived in the office at 9.20 a.m. I had a meeting in the morning and attended a presentation to the executive managers on the proposed merger. It was quite a "curate's egg" sort of a day with some things going well and others not quite so. Tonight Richard joined us for dinner and the House Group. Tm and Mary had put together a video for You-Tube which they were very proud of. Tonight at House Group we discussed why people have left the church and discussed the Back to Church initiative being put together by the Church of England for 27th September. We had a lively debate and, in particular, considered ways in which children of Tom's age could find church more relevant and fun. It is difficult but hopefully we can come up with some good ideas to take back to the PCC. Tomorrow we'll try and continue the discussion in the Lion's Head. Feeling very tired again tonight.
