The speaking tour continues
Last night Young Families (read my mum and her cronies - not exactly young families any longer) at church put on an evening with Emma Swarbrick - me talking about Kenya. We booked the meeting room and I got in touch with the diocese to borrow a data projector (let it be said at this point that Blackburn is THE most ridiculous city to drive around, I seem to view the cathedral from every angle in ever decreasing circles before actually making it to church house). I showed a DVD, my photos and I talked, a lot. Lots of people asked questions, some people asked difficult questions, some people asked lots of difficult questions, I didn't attempt to look more knowledgeable than I was. I enjoyed myself and everyone said it was interesting and well presented :) and they raised £70 for Education for Life - all good! Next stop Ripley St. Thomas. And today I was booked by one of my primary schools to do another assembly :) yey!

Getting in to the cathedral car park also presented me with similar problems the first (and only!) time I was in Blackburn cathedral...I had to park on a random street and go in a kebab shop for change...! I was in a distracted state of mind at the time, but clearly it wasn't just down to that :)
No, my mother also found it somewhat challenging today when she returned the projector!
It's silly! Cathedrals are meant to be big places that you can't miss and therefore easy to get into :)
