As we had been on holiday Friday to Friday, we had the weekend to catch up. Poor Barbara set to and did the laundry. She had a Jumble Sale on Saturday so I did a bit of ironing and then went up and helped put the room straight. I had taken her up with a view to help setting the room up but it had been done!
On the Monday of half term, we went to PARKS for a couple of days. We arrived before lunch on the Monday so had the afternoon to go for a stroll. We just went round to Temple Newsam which is only a few minutes away. I have been to Temple Newsam many times but we all went on walks that we have never been before.
On Tuesday, we went to Blackpool. The intention was to go to Blackpool Zoo and then see the Illuminations. It all worked out very well indeed. The weather was glorious. A big blue sky just like Norfolk. The zoo was packed and Rowan was a bit disappointed with the tiger which was fast asleep in the sun. Still we saw the elephant show and the sea lion show and got round the whole zoo no problem. The only disappointment was that they had closed the Amazonia display when we got there.
We drove down and parked behind the railway station. The parking is superb in Blackpool. Where else can you get 4 hours for £1.50 and a full week for £10. We walked down to front and went on the North Pier. It was excellent. The kids enjoyed being able to look through the wood at the sand and sea! We had a ride on the carousel.
Next was tea. Fish and chips was the food of choice. Harry Ramsdens was mobbed so we went looking elsewhere. We finally settled on one and even got to sit down. By the time we'd been served and eaten, it was full dark so we went for a walk on the front. Any idea of driving along the front was soon quashed when we saw the traffic. So we made our way back to the car and went home. We followed PARK in their car as he'd taken a chip to his windscreen on the way so we made sure they were okay.
Wednesday was spent around Woodlesford and we came home that evening. We did make a call to see Rowan at rugby practice. He seems to be enjoying it.
The rest of the week was spent as usual with shopping and stuff on Thursday and Braves Guild on Friday. On Thursday evening, we went to Victoria Square to see off the Hull Freedom Trail Trailblazers. They were setting off to catch the ferry across to Rotterdam on the first leg of their journey to Freetown in Sierra Leone. The plan, in brief, is to take five 4WD vehicles there and leave them with a charity that is seeking to reunite families that have been split up during the Civil War. Jonny Freedom, whose idea it is, goes to our Church as do a couple of the Trailblazers. We have been hearing about the trip for quite some time and went to make sure they went! We are also praying for the trip and for various people on the trip. Barbara and I have been partnered with a star, Claudio von Planta. He is the cameraman filming the trip. Unfortunately, we never got to speak to him (he was filming!). I'd emailed him earlier and he responded so he knows what we are doing. Things seem to be going well so far.
On Saturday, we went up Clough Road to The Range and Dunelm. Just before we went away, a hole appeared in the bedsheet just where my feet are. Must be the fault of my hard skin! I pointed out it could have worn out where she sits and reads if the sheet was on the other way. Anyhow, we had to get another one. In the end, we went a bit over the top and got duvet covers and throw for when we decorate the bedroom. Must be made of money!

I've been away
It's all too easy to let things slip. We went away to Norfolk for a week on the 12th and I have never really got caught up. Barbara and I had a great time in Norfolk. We stayed in South Creake in a cottage just behind the Ostrich Inn. Had a few drinks and a couple of meals there. Most of the rest, we packed up at lunch time and I cooked in the evening when we got back.
I have a subscription to the Birds Text Alert service from Birdguides and it proved invaluable. I did get a weeks free trial on their Birds News Anywhere service and that helped me keep in touch too. I had said that the holiday wasn't a birdwatching holiday but we did some most days. We did most of the coast and lots of walking. I played about with my digiscoping but most
of the photos turned out a little blurred. I am pleased with one of a Barred Warbler that I took at Kelling Water Meadows on our first day. We went there on the first Saturday because there was a Red Necked Phalarope as well. Beautiful day and good views.
We had another spot of luck on our last day. We'd gone to Holme just to say we'd been really. As we were walking along the lane approaching the reserve, we came across some bird watchers staring intently at a tree! Always a sign. They put us on six Waxwings. The views weren't fantastic but they were my first views of the bird. A couple of cars went past and didn't stop. In one of them were some acquaintances from the Hull RSPB group. I waved but they didn't see me. Colin came back shortly afterwards but the birds had flown away. We walked along to the reserves with him and Jean his wife. Nice to chat to someone else and compare notes. The best bit was as we walking back to the car, we saw a Barn Owl quartering a field. What a beautiful bird.
The journey there and back were okay but I can see why the people of Boston voted for a Independent Bypass Group earlier this year. We had a trip to Gibraltar Point on the way down so Boston was difficult to avoid. However we should have gone round coming home. We've done it before and will do next time!

A lifer at Spurn
The week began quietly enough, I finished off the berberis. Barbara has had difficulty seeing over it so I have trimmed it right down. Whether it survives has yet to be seen.
On Tuesday, I went up to Willersley while Barbara was doing her fellowship. It was a very unpleasant day with lots of rain. I got very wet on my charitable endeavour. In the afternoon, I had a longstanding appointment to give an illustrated talk. Shortly after my spell in Japan ended, I did a Powerpoint presentation about Japan. It was based on Barbara's stay there and was given to the Wive's Group at Church. I have been able to give the excuse that I don't have a projector to avoid doing it again. Jessie M rang me from Cottingham Methodist and asked if I could repeat it for their ladies group. I gave the usual excuse but she told me that her husband had one I could use so I couldn't get away with it. In the event, it all went very well. I spoke too much at the beginning and had to rush at the end but it was okay. Barbara made sure I had a sympathetic audience by inviting Audrey W and Margaret S to come with her. They both said it was very good and Barbara was pleased to be reminded of the trip.
In the evening, we went to the local RSPB meeting. The talk was about North Cave Wetlands, a site that most of us were familiar with. There were only a few slides, mostly very boring but the speaker had plenty of facts and figures about the place so we enjoyed it.

On Wednesday, I went to Spurn with the same RSPB group. Barbara decided to do her own thing. The group met at the Bluebell Cafe car park. There were only 10 of us. Not surprising after the previous days weather. Still we had a good day. I got a stonking photograph of a Dunnock.
Not the most difficult bird to find but it was such a confiding bird in bright sunshine that it was worth a snap. We walked round the Kilnsea square and then went up to Easington on the twitch for a Dusky Warbler. Unfortunately, it hid for the time we were there only reappearing once we had gone on to Sammy's Point. We had gone in two cars and the drivers turned back halfway so we could walk along to Kilnsea while they went back to the cars and met us there. In the meantime, we had heard that the Little Bunting was still on Spurn at post 58. Half a dozen of us decided to take the chance and went for a look. Amazingly, it was still there and we got tremendous views. Another rarity had been spotted back near the cafe but it was long gone when we got back. As it was 4pm, I decided to call it a day and headed home. I got embroiled in the terrible traffic that is Hedon Road/Castle Street and it took me twice as long to get home as it had taken me to get to Spurn.

Barbara had been a carer there when she went back to work. She took the car while I got dinner ready.
Today we went shopping first thing as Pauline was coming for lunch. The rest of the day, we have been sorting stuff out. Having a break now while Barbara is at Wives Group!
Hull Fair Weekend
Got lots of catching up to do. After saying I had nothing much to do, I have been quite busy! Friday is Braves Guild. Barbara had a meeting at 2.30pm so she left early. I stayed and helped tidy up. Popped across to Tesco and got some ingredients for tea while the turn was on.
PARK came across as soon as the children left school so were here in time for us to give the children tea. They had been going to go to the Fair but decided against it on the first night. Instead, we had a few beers and a very nice paella.
We were up on Saturday morning to go set up for the Coffee Morning. Rowan wanted to come with us so we squeezed him in the back. He helped us set up and then went into the hall and kicked a football around. Barbara went for Lisa and she helped out. There was a good turn out with people I hadn't seen before. Jean, who usually does the books was away so I stood around them all morning. PAK came up for a coffee but Rowan stayed with us when they came home. He walked down with me while Barbara took Lisa home.
P&A were out on Saturday evening so they went home after lunch leaving the children with us. We kept them occupied until it was time to go to the Fair. We went down to the Park and Ride and caught the Fair bus around 4.15pm. The weather stayed fine and the kids were very good, keeping with us as we walked around. The prices were ridiculous really. We spent £40+. Luckily Mum and Dad had left some cash and there was some from Grandma Mags so it wasn't all out of our pocket! I went on the Carousel with Kirsten and we all went on the Dodgems and a small rollercoaster. We also had to accompany Kirsten into various "fun houses" as she was too small. I think next year we will try to be away for the week!
We had to fight against the tide on our way out. The bus was there as we got to Anlaby Road and soon had us back. As we went over the flyover, the cars were nose to tail all the way over. There were loads of people walking along Anlaby Road and when we got to the Park and Ride car park, there were queues all the way round the building in the middle even thought there were already two buses loading. Loadsamoney!!
We'd had a hot dog (£2) and bought some candy floss and sweets but Rowan was ready for some scrambled eggs on toast. However, when we let him stay up, he began to flag and didn't demur when we told him it was time for bed.
Sunday morning was early Communion and Prayer Breakfast. Barbara was a bit worried that I would kill the kids but took the chance and left me in charge while she went to do the breakfast. I was reading waiting for some movement. At 8.30, Rowan went to the toilet. A little later, I heard someone go downstairs so I got up and made my way down to find them sat in the front room waiting for something to happen. They were great, helping me with breakfast and then getting ready when asked. Barbara rang at 10 and I told her we would be on our way shortly. We got to Church at 10.25 and sat up front near the Worship Group. Again, they were great and I was delighted to see and hear Rowan singing the hymns and songs reading the words from the OHP.
Barbara had another meeting in the afternoon so when the parentals came for them, we were sat watching Tom and Jerry and eating sweets. Talk about spoiling them! They stayed for a cuppa and then went to visit Mark and Caroline on the way home.
We had an invite to a Ruby Wedding/birthday do in Beverley. Maurice and Christine had just got back from Canada and were celebrating. It also allowed us to have a look at the house they had let while their flooded house is being repaired. Bob and Jean picked us up and we picked up Val L on the way. We were a bit early but they let us in! We didn't leave until just before midnight. It was great evening chatting with friends and catching up.

Nowt much going on
After the weekend away, we just had to keep going. We went to see another Church. Our Church is in the midst of talks with the local CofE Parish Church. Barbara is on the committee and was invited to go with some others to see Nestor Grove Methodist Church which has formed a partnership with Sure Start and built a new building with a Church, nursery, cafe and offices on Bilton Grange. The whole set up was very impressive. Unfortunately it isn't the direction we need to take but interesting nevertheless.
On Tuesday, Barbara was at Fellowship so I went shopping and then went and got my hair cut. My normal barber was on holiday so the cut is different but it will do for a couple of weeks. After lunch, Pauline came to call. As she went, she dropped us on Anlaby High Road and we walked up to the doctors to see the nurse. We are planning a holiday to the subcontinent next year and have started getting our vaccinations up to date. We both had the joint polio/diptheria/tetanus. I must say that I hardly felt the needle going in. We walked back via Anlaby and a look in the shops there.
Wednesday was a make do and mend day. Barbara started the ironing and I finished it while she was at keep fit. Tidying up inside and out followed. I trimmed some bushes and then took the stuff to the tip. I finally got all the roots up where our "redevelopment" is going and started getting rid of a bit of the earth down there in the bags of trimmings.
Today we have been preparing for the weekend. Sorting out the beds, shopping, cleaning up etc. I don't seem to be doing much at all really. I have fallen into the routine. We are going away for a few days shortly. Maybe that will give me the kickstart I need.

Church Weekend Away
We left Hull Braves Guild early last Friday so that we could do our pick ups for the Church Weekend Away on time. We had arranged to take Val H. and Brenda S. We were right on 5pm at Brenda's house and shortly afterwards at Val's. There was the usual Friday evening traffic on the way to Beverley but after that, we made very good time. There was no evening meal arranged on Friday so late arrivals weren't penalised. So we went for fish and chips just round the corner from the hotel before we went and booked in.
The Green Gables Hotel was good for our purposes. There were plenty of rooms for us and games room, snooker room and swimming pool for those leisure moments. Not much had been arranged for Friday. The children had some play time and then the Roald Dahl version of "Cinderella" ably read by Hayley J. Then we had a question and answer session with our new Minister, Christopher followed by a short epilogue.
The next morning, our two car passengers were doing the early morning prayers. They asked me to take part. Barbara and I nearly didn't make it. We'd been awake several times during the night but "gone off" again and had to rush at 7.30. to be there for 8am. Quite a lot of people made it and Brenda really is a prayer warrior. Breakfast followed and then we had two sessions on Philippians Ch.1 lead by Carol McW. Plenty to talk about in both sessions.
The morning sessions finished around noon and then we were free until dinner time at 6pm. Our passengers joined us for the afternoon and we went up to Robin Hood's Bay. We had intended to call at a pub on the way for lunch but kept missing them! In the end, we went to the Victoria Hotel in Robin Hood's Bay. We were pleased that we had driven past all the others. The three ladies had a crab sandwich and I had a steak sandwich. Mine,in particular, was a misnomer. There was a bread roll on the plate but there was also salad garnish, coleslaw, onion rings, chips as well as loads of tender steak. We needed the walk down to the harbour and back up to burn some of the calories off. Mind you, we drove along to Ravenscar afterwards and walked to the cafe where the ladies had a cake with their drinks. I couldn't have eaten another thing, must have been the chips!
After dinner, there was a barn dance arranged by Margaret and Steve S. There was a very important Rugby League Match being played so our numbers were down as some people went to the pub to watch it on the television and one brave soul drove down to the KC Stadium to watch Hull FC lose out in the play-off semi final game. They missed a good evening. Some of the children joined in causing chaos in the dances as the difference in height made it more difficult than usual to keep track of the steps! We also had "Snow White and the seven dwarfs" by Roald Dahl as a bedtime story.
I had been asked to take part in a sketch and was rehearsing it with the other participants in the TV room when the epilogue started next door. Didn't feel too bad as Rev'd. Christopher was in the sketch and missed the start too! After the epilogue some of us went round to the bar for a drink before bed.
Not wanting to get caught out again, Barbara had set the alarm on her mobile so that we were awake in plenty of time for the Communion at 8am. Of course, we then waited for the thing to go off. Still we had time to bathe and get down in time. I always enjoy the closeness to God that I feel with these quiet services. Afterwards, it was breakfast time and then a service lead by Margaret and Steve. We then had some free time until lunch at 1pm so we went for a walk up into the park behind the hotel. There is a great view from up there over Scarborough.
Brenda's husband had come up to spend the afternoon with her so we only had Val to take home. Again we made good time and, after a call at Morrisons for petrol and some bread, we were home by 3.30pm. There was a celebration service at 6.30pm and we went. It was a very good end to the weekend. The sermon was short but to the point, the choice of hymns/songs excellent and we certainly felt uplifted and very, very challenged by the whole weekend. As I said to some of the people who were remarking on the part I'd played "Now I've just got to become as good as people think I am"
