day in pictures (or not)

Happy Easter!

We had a great service this morning and the church was absolutely rammed.  A few of us had got there a little bit early in order to blow up 300 helium balloons and tie a message from St Silas to each of them.  Thankfully there were just about enough to go around (with a few stuck up somewhere in the rafters no doubt).  The sight of them being released is one of my favourite images of the year - a multi-coloured celebration on this special day.

On the way home we were caught in traffic due to the annual Easter Egg Run which involves lots of motor bikes making their way through the city.  I love watching it and was glad to find a good spot once again.

I took lots of pictures of both events but unfortunately still haven't figured out how to get them onto my computer; so if you want to see pictures (for now at least) you will have to look at last years pictures of the bike run and wait for someone else to publish pictures of the balloon release!

(GV has now posted some pics of this morning.)
