I joined our parish outing to The Friars at Aylesford today and am very pleased that I did. It was quite a cool day today but having visited Aylesford before I knew what to expect and wrapped up well.It was worth it. There were plenty of people there including lots of children and young people but we all managed to find a seat easily and had a good view as the relics arrived by car as far as the Gatehouse and were then carried by the 'Knights' to the place of honour in the main shrine.
A slight embarrassment as we were sitting in the front row of the rear seats and were surprised when one of the local media thrust a microphone in our faces and asked why we were here! Nothing like being put on the spot - I mumbled something barely coherent so I'm sure it would have been scrapped straightaway. (Note to self - when sitting in a visible spot and there are media people around, don't make eye contact!)
Off to Wonersh tomorrow for the Teams Conference - it's all go!
