Builders at our house

 As you will know from Roberts blog we are having our house in Derbyshire modernised and the photo's below show the stage the builders are at. After a quick start it now seams to be going slower. We are having a week of work from the 8th and were going to try to decorate but as it wont be ready we are going to have a week away in Scotland. Each job done in the house seams to create more unforeseen work so it will take longer than anticipated.

 The outside with the sale board. Due to the currant climate the house would not sell for the price we wanted or what it is really worth hence us doing it up to rent out or to see if it will sell.

 We had the wall knocked down from the kitchen to the dining room to make a great space an open kitchen diner.

                                                                         The bath room

 This space created was the coal house, entry from the out side, the door was bricked up and opened up into the kitchen there will be a door on i think this will make a good room for coats, shoes etc.

Harvest festival September 25th

Last Sunday we celebrated our harvest festival on the 25th September. We arranged ed the flowers on the Thursday with just the fresh fruit and vegetables and on the Sunday the congregation brought there goods. Nowadays we ask for tins or dry food such as pasta, rice etc. The food is then sent to the M25 project a centre for homeless, drug users or people just looking for a good meal and a talk and comfort and also some spiritual healing.

                                     The main display represented the harvest of the sea and land.

                              This was the harvest of the sea with salt and water, shells and paper fish,                                             fresh fish may have been quite stinky by Sunday

                                                         Fresh fruit and veg bread and flour

 

                           There were four of these arrangements on the walls around the church.

This arrangement greeted people in the vestibule when they arrived
