Dads and kids breakfast

To St James for the first dads and kids breakfast - three monthly events are planned and today the project got off to a great start, with bacon butties, coffee, croissants, fruit juice, games for the kids and a trip up the church tower and down into the crypt for the kids (although the dads came too and enjoyed visiting distant corners of the church, such as the paupers' gallery which not even I had previously seen).

Verdict: roll on the next breakfast - and thanks to Marian for a brilliant idea, and to Marian & Jean for all those bacon butties.

While we were breakfasting various passers-by popped in for a look round, including a party of ramblers from Redbridge, a lady from Rotherhithe and a photography student who took some pictures of the church interior as part of a project he was doing for uni, a few of which he kindly emailled to me  (below) for the blog (thanks Darren).
