Driving to Grimsby

I had quite a busy morning today packing to go away this afternoon to Grimsby. Sara went to join the Oasis Women's Group at St. Paul's today with Maxime and seemed to enjoy it. She intends to go again. Apparently there were about 100 women there who joined together for a period of worship and then they broke into small groups of six or eight. A wonderful opportunity to grow in faith. It would be even more wonderful if we could do something like that in Winterslow. After a lunch of sandwiches and yoghurt, I set off for Grimsby at 1 p.m. and journeyed up via Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Stamford, Spalding, and Boston stopping off briefly at Stamford for a comfort break and at East Keal for an Appleby's ice-cream - the taste of Lincolnshire! I also stopped off at Haugham to take a picture of the village church which is a miniature of Louth St. James's Church (see photo). I finally arrived at Carr Lane at 6.15 p.m. Mum prepared a supper of cold ham and baked potato and left me at 7.30 p.m. to go to her Bingo Night at the Conservative Club in Cleethorpes. As I type this Liverpool have just been awarded a penalty against Lille in the UEFA Cup tie at Anfield. Liverpool went on to win 3-0 (4-1 on aggregate) to get into the Quarter Finals.
