A beautiful weekend (despite the chilly nights)saw us enjoying the company of Derek and Anne when they brought David to us for lunch on Saturday bringing us a most delicious home made chocolate gooey cake (Thank you to the "other" Ann!!). It is so enjoyable to see them, we must come down to Milton Keynes again soon...
Sunday was a "double whammy"! our normal 0930 service at St Michael's immediately followed by the Methodist's chapel Harvest service, M&J were in Cub uniform to join with the other Beavers, Cubs , Brownies and Rainbows in bringing harvest produce to the chapel. A lively service with mummy temporarily adopting Peter the cabbage rabbit puppet as all his bug friends sat the service on "Rainbows'" knees and M&J acting out being Epimetheus and Prometheus in a telling of Pandora's box. A good lesson was learnt about the devastation of the world and it's resources but that of hope that we may help to save it....
We joined the Harvest lunch afterwards which was plentiful and delicious. the children were well behaved (as commented on by various members of the congragation)as they busied themselves tucking in to the meal...
We had some extra pudding as we were lucky to be offered a left over trifle! as well as a few other bits of lunch!! The Stainsbys NEVER say NO to gifts of food!!!!!
