Pickle Ball

We enjoy spending time together and a small group of us recently played pickle ball. What we lacked in skill we made up for in hilarity.

Our Day Out to Prestwick

In August we had our annual church day out to Prestwick beach. Some of us went in for a swim, apparently it wasn’t cold (!) and the less brave paddled. We enjoyed some old fashioned races and team games, providing quite a spectacle on the beach.
