And now for something not at all different

This Sunday, August Bank Holiday weekend, we have an open meeting with bread and wine.

Lots of people will be away this weekend, on holiday or at Greenbelt or, in my case, at the Wales versus France rugby match in Cardiff. C'mon, Wales!

Things will start returning to normal the following week with September coming in, when the title of the meeting is 'Here's hoping.' Which could refer to the return to normality or something entirely different; that's all the clue I have been given, so come along and find out.

We were delighted to have an old face visit us last weekend. Angelo brought his fiancee, Fion, to meet us. We are hopeful that she will not have been put off marrying him.

And talking about visiting, lots of Lindenites will be packing their rucksacks and heading off for Ffald-y-brenin, in beautiful west Wales countryside, in a few weeks time. If you'd like to join them on this retreat (21-23 September) for good food for body and soul, email Linden and we'll send you details.

So this is what happened last Sunday

A paralysed man (Neil T) was lowered (climbed down inside) through the roof of a house (from the top of some scaffolding) by his friends (who dragged him out on a blanket).

Neil was going to be lowered from the scaffolding but Health & Safety officials decided it was too risky.

You can't say the meetings at Linden are boring.

(Well, you can but only sometimes.)

Another very successful Playscheme has finished for the year, but the Community Cafe is still open at Red. If you haven't visited yet, why not?!! (Being in Australia is no excuse, Dr Millie!)

The cafe now includes a recycled bookstall. Paperbacks are a bargain at £1 and hardbacks are an unbelievable bargain at £2!
