Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Just missed the crack of dawn, up at 5.20am - off to London Kings X - BR got me there only 15 minutes late, met a frozen creature on the platform. Wonderful to see her. Coffee & Bagel with cream cheese.
Fast train to Cambridge + mega tons of luggage, taxi to Newmarket, and her parents were there. A very warm greeting from Bruce & Anne, they have re-fitted Julia's kitchen themselves and it looks amazingly well, beautiful even. Tea & Engagement presents - J' got a little gold wol broach, and I got a genuine hand made Griffin gentlemens watch in brass with a pretty enamel on the back; lovely.
Dinner & they left. Sat around in the front room by the fire and read some of "Life at the Extreme" while J' processed her junk mail mountain. Suddenly realised we needed to go to Church, headed off for 'Eden' (Baptist church in Cambridge).
Slightly late, a childrens sermon [ J' was very tired ] about the Magi - and the meaning of wisdom, an extremely good and interactive sermon for Children. Had an amusingly contemporary dance to 'Fat boy Slim's carol of the wise men:

We've come a long long way together,

through the hard times and the good,

I've got to clebrate you baby,

I've got to praise you like I should,

I've got to praise you ...

Storming. Met James Williams afterwards, had to leave to put the tired girl to bed, but great to catch up with him.
Back home, bread & bed.
