Cornwall 2022, Day 3
Nov. 20th, 2022 11:49 pmOn Sunday we trundled along to Craig's church for their "fresh ground breakfast" service, which is at the far too early hour of 8:45am but they do have bacon rolls before the service starts! They'd been doing a series on the sermon on the mount, and for today's talk the leader got a couple of the children to build two houses, one out of Lego and one out of Jenga blocks. Then the leader said "I don't have a flood or a storm, but I do have an earthquake"... and shook the table to discover that the Jenga brick house was actually fairly well built and thanks to the tray it was on decoupled from the table movement!
We hadn't really planned what to do with the rest of the day - the forecast for the weekend was very uncertain and as we got back from church the weather brought a Cornish mizzle... but while we were considering places the sun suddenly came out. So as there was still a bit of netting to install Craig rounded up his neighbours and we went up on the scaffold again! The last bits went up fairly quickly - by this point we'd gotten the hang of it.
We did at least manage a small outing to Buckfast Abbey in the afternoon (picked as it's not only in the right direction, but practically on the route - it's like a 3 minute detour from the A38), and then it was back to Fareham for me. I'm beginning to learn the route between here and Craig's and recognise more of the landmarks, though I find it's when I reach the point that I'll ignore the satnav's misguided detours (no, Google, it's not faster for me to to go through the middle of Chichester especially when you route me down side streets. Haywards Heath however...) that I've really picked up a route.
Next visit hopefully there'll be less solar shenanigans! Craig did joke that I've probably earned several DIY visits from him as and when house-buying happens...
