Mini time

Standard

23 December 2024

Picking up another car, but this time not for me…..

Went with a friend (Rev Garry) and his son Alexander to pick up a mini from Tibshelf way using my trailer.

Mostly there but quite a few bits not attached ?. Another little project to Garry and Alexander…. Bit worried he will soon have more cars than me. Already planning another mini plus donor car. Maybe I should get one as well ?

 

 

 

Big Carol concert in Nottingham

Standard

21 December 2024

The real start of Christmas for us as we go to the concert centre in Nottingham for the annual Carol concert that Sally performs in.

Went with Roger, Krystyna and Mia. Just before half time the kids go on stage to sing to 2000 people. Proud that Mia again went on stage.

A lovely night finished off with a meal in West Bridgford…..

Charity Bag packing

Standard

7 December 2024

I did a charity bag pack at the local Sainsbury’s with the Boys Brigade kids.

Not done one for a while. I really enjoyed it. Managed to chat to several people I have not seen for a while….?

We raised nearly £400, that’s thanks to the generosity of the shoppers.

An uplifting funeral….

Standard

5 December 2024

Not been to many funerals recently but went to David Brooke’s.

David was a true farmer, politician, family man and a complete eccentric. I enjoyed our conversations even if I cringed a few times. Love him or hate him, but you couldn’t ignore him.

It was a big funeral well over 600 attended, coming far and wide. Unlike a lot of funerals this was a celebration of his life.

it was a great send off to a true character (not many of those left). He will be missed.
