V. satisfying Learning Church this morning – about 50 people(!), doubtless attracted by the subject (Christian Mysticism – an introduction) – if we have that many next week I’ll be pleasantly surprised, I have the sense that it was a little too ‘deep’ for many people to digest…

But in the middle of a glorious day – before the final wedding I’m taking this year – I took the boys onto the beach, and thought I’d let you see what Mersea is like in (truly) mid-October!!! when the tide is out.

NB those marks in the background that look like they might be dirt on the camera lens? They’re actually kite surfers….
