14th October - Final day of Nantwich weekend and Dance at Grappenhall

After breakfast this morning, we had our morning worship session. Richard led the music and Susanna gave an emotional talk based on some of the things she has learnt from reading Philip Yancey's book - Disappointment with God. She spoke about her Mum's battle with cancer. Many of us were moved by her talk.
We then went back upstairs to pack before lunch. The meal was very good - roast lamb, roast potatoes and vegetables followed by chocolate gateau. After this people started to leave. Eventually there was only Karen, Kay, Tim ,Chris, Jenny and myself left. We had a final check around the place and then went on our way to Warrington.
We went over to Chris's house for coffee and a chat. Karen then went home and the rest of us went over to a local pub called "The Springbrook" for dinner. They did a good deal of two meals for the price of one. I had a Caesar salad as I only wanted a light meal - it was very good.
We then went to the Jive class at Grappenhall Community Centre. The room was quite packed by the time we got there. It is quite a small place - only about half the size of the place I normally go to in Prestwich. Tim, Kay and I joined in with the intermediate class which turned out to be quite challenging. I was quite pleased that I managed to master a couple of the moves. After the class I had a few dances with Tim and Chris. Kay then drove Jenny and I back to Manchester. The motorway was quiet fortunately so we just about managed to get home before midnight.
In all it has been an enjoyable, but exhausting weekend. I'm glad I'm not in work tomorrow.
