Judith makes the tea!
It was good to be in the Nottingham and Derby District and experience a local preacher's conference at Life at the Centre in the midst of a busy Nottingham Saturday and, by contrast,the peace of the Derbyshire Dales on the Sunday morning. I was at Cromford for their morning service swelled by a group of 70 or so Wesley Guilders who were staying at Willersley Castle just up the road.

We were taken there for a traditional Sunday lunch afterwards and warmly welcomed by the manager Tim Rodgers and his wife. They have a rich variety of short breaks on offer during the year - from bird watching to Gilbert and Sullivan! willersley@christianguild.co.uk is the contact email.
I ended the visit at Trinity Church in Long Eaton - my brother's church which has been rebuilt in the last few years and is a lively place, with a good outreach and a well-used coffee shop. There I was given a light grilling by Gail my sister-in-law and was able to engage in discussion both with church members and the President who joined in the debate halfway through.
