Good Morning! I hope you enjoy your Bank Holiday Monday. I don't know about you but I am finding it tricky to remember what day of the week it is at the moment. I now find myself thinking about the future and when we can meet up again rather than on the past and how many weeks we have been in 'lock-down'. I am trying to focus on the positive things we did at St Mark's and want to start planning for when we can open up again. Any ideas? It is always good to have the chance to evaluate and move forward with new ideas as well as the old ones - if they worked that is...
Love and blessings.

Good Morning. Well, today's weather is a little different from the last few weeks. I have just walked around the garden tidying up so the wind doesn't blow everything away. Take care as you go out for your walk today. Enjoy the (very) fresh air and have a great day. Love and blessings.

Good afternoon. I hope you are all keeping safe and staying positive. I am beginning to lose count of how many weeks it has been since I last saw you at St Mark's. Miss you all. I have loads of fabric scraps and was thinking about what to do with them. Does anyone fancy doing any patchwork or making any bunting? Let me know your ideas and then I'll work out how we can organize it. Love and blessings.

Good morning. Here is a short informal service for this Sunday. There are a couple of activities suitable for everyone including children. Love and blessings.

Hello again! If you have children, how are you getting on with home-schooling? Don't forget that I am a primary teacher so if you have any questions about any of the work I might be able to help you. I am hoping that you and your families are using this opportunity to try out some of the brilliant craft ideas that are online. Arts and crafts can be such fun and they encourage us to think creatively so it is a great way to learn and keep the brain working! Put a photo on here to show me what you have been making... I'd love to see your projects.

Good morning! I hope you are all staying safe and keeping well. I have been in Scartho this week joining with the ladies of the Sewing Club. I have been cutting out hospital gowns ready for others to sew up. We are using duvet covers and sheets - I would love to see some of the hospital staff with the brightly coloured gowns. I particularly liked the one with a unicorn on it and another covered in teddies. Hopefully they will bring a smile to someone's face even in these distressing times.What has made you smile this week?

Good morning! Hope you are all keeping well. So we are going to have another three weeks of not seeing each other...
What can I do to help. Do you want me to put things on this page? What ideas do you have? Photos / quotes / stories / cooking ideas / art and craft activities??? On Sundays I will put a link to a short, child-friendly service but other days are up to you. Send me your ideas so I can start to prepare them. Love and blessings.
