I changed my avatar to this church because one of the best things about going north to stay with my sis-i-l, is attending 6 pm Christmas Eve service here.

It has seating for about 30 or 40 people .......... but more than 100 will cram in to the church, the entrance way, and standing outside in the snow, on Christmas Eve.

It has always snowed, and often IS snowing.

It's always a traditional Christmas Carol Service ......... but the absence of electricity means that lighting is by lanterns on the window sills ......... used to be candles but Fire Safety rules have prevailed :-( :-( :-P. People have small torches so they can read the words

................. and the wood stove roars away.


It is quite magical .............. and a reminder how the pioneers lived in this country less than 100 years ago.




It's the only time I go to church, apart from "hatchings, matchings and despatchings"

Well I hope you sing loudly Sylvs........you would have thought that everyone knew the words by now :-D :-D



Must go to bed before my eyelids fall onto my laptop. Have the grandchildren all day tomorrow.....better prepare myself.


Night all.

not going there this year, Cyn

This year, it's to our best friends on the Island.


That photo was taken on Dec 27 2009 ......... the last time we went north.

The ferry we are supposed to take on Thursday had a "hard" landing today :-0

As a result, the berth at the terminal is "significantly damaged", and is closed for a period of time. The ship's port side doors damaged (ie, where the cars exit).

That terminal only has one berth ................. so the whole terminal is closed. The ferry is undergoing repairs.

There is another ferry terminal in that town ............... and for tomorrow all sailings that should go to the damaged one will be going to the other one ......... and who knows about Thursday?


We do have reservations, so have assured boarding ......... but any replacement ferry will be smaller than the damaged one.

I think we will be going out to the ferry terminal even earlier than we had planned!


I would guess that whoever was in charge might be in a spot of trouble ....... unless it was some sort of engine trouble.


But ....... just 2 days before the busiest weekend of the year for the ferries!

oh, in case you're wondering

2 passengers and 1 crew member were slightly injured.

Oh - I 'do' love it when you 'have to empty the fridge' Sylvia !!! - Lots more goodies ! ;-) <3

Sounds like someone will be in for a 'good telling off' about that Ferry - so glad you were not on that one!

Where is our Persie? - How is your daughter doing ? Did she have her test done?

Dea x

Good morning. Thank you Sylvs, I'll do the bending and wiping out the fridge for you :-D Meanwhile, Dea is busy hoovering up the crumbs :-D



How unfortunate about that ferry at this time of year. I hope they can get things sorted for all those who are hoping to get away. How are you in a canoe?????


Persie......hope all is well <3



Dea, my grandchildren finished school last Friday! My son finishes work tomorrow so it seems that they were stuck today. It's horrible weather too....so I think it will be a quick visit to ye olde Tesco's and back home to watch a Christmassy dvd.

MInd you, they have the ipads I told you about so that keeps them occupied for ages but I do like them to come off them sometimes :-S

Nice little church I wonder when it was built?

Late today and just decided that I have finished for Christmas as I sorted everything out yesterday so think today will be defrosting the freezer :-0

I may not be around after midnight tonight as my membership is due for renewal and as I had problems last year, Im guessing the same thing will happen again

New bank card and nowhere on the site to update the details?

Ive emailed them but I dont know when I'll get a response....any ideas welcome :-D
