Low, High and mummified cats.

Since last time, well i guess not long as passed, still just bumming around london with Katie and crocker, but ill throw up some blogs while i still have the chance...

Well last sunday i wandered into Holy trinity Brompton, a small church in the centre of london that has the likes of tim hughes and niky gumble, it was an interesting experience, very much like church back home at St Hills, good music, good teaching, big nice old building. bit of a walk in and walk out service though, no one really talked to each other where i was sitting, alas.

tried to get into the famed Harrods, got knocked back, must've been looking dodgy or something.

managed to catch communion at St Pauls that night, it was a totally different church experience to HTB (as one would expect), its a massive place, if you've been there you'll know what im tlaking about, if not, high ceilings, big dome, painted roofs with sculptures and what not piled in everywhere. communion was a great experience, about 100 people from all around the world, and it was partially sung, the canon and helper people were in robes and they had a smoke bowl thingo full of incense.

it was an interesting contract, going to the contemporary service in the morning then on to the high anglican shin dig at the church that is the centre of the anglican church...

I've also been road tripping with Dan Crocker, long drive, took up 12 hours to clock up about 400km, stupid UK traffic, even in the middle of the day in the middle of the week, its amazing... though we found some nice cliched small roads surrouned by hedges, where we got stuck and had to squeeze past other cars.
We ended up in Hastings for dinner at a small Pub called the Stagg, it was older than our country, (im assuming most reading this are aussies...) at about 400years old and came complete with mumified cats in a box and drunk owner sitting behind the bar offering us a free meal if it wasnt up to scratch.

besides all that i;ve just been doing the usual tourist stuff, all good fun, lots of museums and what not. still missin home a little.
