Day 4: The Ice Cometh Man

Sunday morning brought a taste of winter, this icicle was our first warning, but the real adventure started on driving the car out of the garage. Picture the car perched at the top of the drive(way) on a sheet of ice, as I started to reverse down the drive I suddenly thought that if I was going to slide down I'd rather it was forwards. So, now we're sitting in the car attempting a 3-point turn and picturing ourselves sliding sideways down the drive. Eventually, with a bit of help from the grass verges of the drive I actually managed to turn the car around and slide/drive down to the road where we were able to (cautiously) gain enough traction to achieve uphill movement to the main road.

We were on our way to try one of the local churches. We went to the local Vineyard church where we received a very warm welcome, a tour, some great worship, a challenging message and a lunch-invitation. Not sure if it will be our home, but it was a great place to be a newcomer!
