Spring Harvest Day 6

Last day at Spring Harvest – it has come all too quickly this year. The news of Margaret Thatcher's death is still buzzing.   It’s been a good week with great teaching and despite feeling physically and mentally tired, I do feel spiritually refreshed and so want to use some of what I have learned as part of my forthcoming ministry.  This morning, after the usual search for trollies and packing things in the respective cars (I had to push my trolley all the way over to the large car park where Cynthia’s car was parked) we went to the big top for the final morning celebration and Holy Communion.  The final speaker of the week was Krish Kandiah and we were entertained with lively worship songs from Noel Robinson to send us on our way.  We ended the morning (as we started Spring Harvest) having fish and chips (an enormous portion) with Cynthia and Paul before setting off on our journeys back to Winterslow - arriving there at around 3.30 p.m.  Quite tired tonight.  Sara and I watched a few episodes of Ever Decreasing Circles over a bottle of Cava tonight – deciding to simply chill out, get a good night’s rest and start work again tomorrow. I did manage to get a copy of the Times Special Tribute Edition on Margaret Thatcher’s life and times.  She remains a most controversial figure – even in death – with many socialists deploring the public military funeral which is to be accorded to her.
