Thanksgiving and Luncheon Excess


Another pic of my glass and lilies of the valley.

Made the effort and went to the Thanksgiving service at St. G the M.

Very full church and some very good choirs. Lunch after in the crypt. They had made a huge effort on the food and drinks front - masses of fresh salmon, home made crab quiche, all sorts of cold meats and salads etc, baby new potatoes, and a choice of fruit salad or blackberry and apple pie with cream. All very good, and followed up with tea or coffee and a slice of the celebration cake.

Saw some ex trustees all looking very well and on form and had a long chat with the SE1 folk who put me in touch with an organisation which trains people to be magistrates, trustees etc. and who may prove a useful source when seeking new trustees. Very handy as we are rather short of people.

Ate far too much so spent a couple of hours unconscious, recovering from the excess. As I came out of the church, the bells were ringing like mad for ages, quite a good and unusual sound in England. Reminded me of Barcelona where the bells rang all the time.
