Christmas Present Ideas



Some good friends of mine Dave & Ian have just launched a new coffee company, the coffee tastes great and the profits are going to be helping some great causes so if you're short of Christmas present ideas why not try them out...

A Beach Hazard

Congratulations to Luke my 10 year old son whose photo Beach Hazard, that he took during our summer holidays has made the final 5 of the under 16 entries for the Burton Bradstock online photo competition.  I'm a bit gutted that none of my photos made the adult final (and he's delighted). The winner is going to be announced on Tuesday - go Luke!

Weekend Wanderings

Saturday morning was my second run out for the ENC football team, after only 20 minutes I pulled my hamstring and had to take over from the ref who was our sub. I was well gutted and my refing was rubbish. In the photo you can just about make me out on the far post before injury, praying that the ball wasn't coming my way. In the evening I limped up to Alexandra Palace with the boys for what has to be one of the best free (donation only) fireworks parties in London. Looking over the city is great on any clear day or night but then seeing some spectacular fireworks with 70,000 others adds to the atmosphere somewhat.

Sunday was our next CIA sunday (Community in action) and we cleared Dave's (a colleague of one of the girls in the church) garden for him. Come the spring he'd like turf and flowers but for now at least we've got rid of an old tree and loads of weeds.
