Let it snow...

We had a snow day today- so at 6.38am I got a phone call from a colleague telling me school was shut. The five minutes later another friend called, in case I'd been overlooked because I am a mere Supply Teacher. So that meant I was free to go to Thursday Coffee Drop In at the Church,and then to a local Care Home with Bob for a Communion Service. "See, I take you out for a morning of drinking and singing - don't say I don't know how to show a girl a good time!" he said.

The BBC Leicester website has some great pictures of snowy scenes. This one is Bradgate House - the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey. It snowed again this afternoon but seems cold and clear now. Unfortunately we have had to cancel our Ladies Group,as the speaker cannot get here. I shall go down to the church [once "The Archers" has finished!] just in case anybody turns up.

You may have heard about Caroline Petrie, the nurse who has been suspended [without pay] from her job, because she offered to pray for a patient. I would ask you to pray for Caroline- you can read more details on Nigel Coles' blog. Nigel is one of our Baptist Regional Ministers, and a good friend from College Days. Bob has also blogged about this too- so I don't think I need to add any more to their wise words.

Now I must put on my trusty  Hein Gericke biker boots and toddle off up the hill...

As Captain Oates said "I am just going out gentlemen, I may be some time..."

 

They certainly keep my feet incredibly toasty warm even if they are not the most glamorous footwear on the planet!
