A mixed bag of emotions this morning ......
..... as it would seems that there will be no more special school assemblies in church for quite a while, as their venue, St Peter's Church, is now something of a danger zone, as it undergoes vital renovation.
However, when this said renovation includes the dismantling of the spire, I think you can imagine the unbridled joy that brings to Eric's heart and soul of a hi viz vest, safety helmet and scaffolding type nature!
The safety signs alone are more than capable of holding the little fella in thrall for more hours than I care to count, but it also means that if we can't find him during day light hours, I think it will be a safe bet as to where he'll be.
Never has the school run been quite such an exhilarating prospect as he watches the work happen in real time, with the spire gradually coming down and then back up again when sufficient funds are raised. He's already given himself an extra fifteen minutes each way in order to properly survey the work done each day, heaven help us all .......I know he'll be hanging round, hankering to be invited up to the lumberjacks "crows nest" to take in the view ...... Note to self; deny all knowledge as to where aforementioned hi viz vest and safety helmet have disappeared to and not to encourage any considered purchase of karabiners and climbing rope!

Eric could be at the church, at the knitted bible, or looking at the birds in their cages. At least it has been narrowed down, somewhat,
Oh the excitement - what fun you are all having down there in the ever beautiful Evesham! JantheFan X
