Back in January we visited Windsor Castle for Molly’s birthday. At the beginning of July, we got to go back to the Royal Borough of Windsor (that’s the official name), this time to preach at the United Reformed Church.

This congregation was particularly small, less than 20, but just as in the States, when the weather warms up, church attendance goes down. It was a pretty little building, but they rent out most of it now to various commercial enterprises, which is kind of a shame, but a lot of churches over here depend on facility rentals in order to make ends meet.

After lunch, we’d hoped to go back to the Castle, but the line was huge, probably a couple of hours long. Instead we went through a local museum (which was kind of disappointing) and then walking the high street for a bit.

Later that week, we had a Parent’s Night at the school Lizzy will be attending this fall. I was hot and grumpy at the beginning of it, so I went in fully expecting to hate everything about it, but by the time they were done, I was grudgingly impressed with the school. It’s called a secondary school, which includes ages 11-16. I’m looking forward to seeing how she does starting in September.
