The Ss Chad & Cedd Pilgrimage 2002

Day 6: Rest Day in Sheffield

Our well-deserved rest day started early for Peter!

In the morning we were joined by dozens of youngsters collecting their GCSE results - Aidan (son of pilgrims Nick & Claire and my godson) was celebrating excellent results.

Stephen took the opportunity to manage his photos on the laptop

while Davis was among those cleaning and waxing their boots

others relaxed - the Wrinkly Rockets became the Wrinkly Readers (or is it the Reading Rockets?)

Some just enjoyed the sunshine

We went into the City - some on foot and some on the SuperTram.

Many attended Mass at the RC Cathedral of St Marie

Then we visited the Anglican Cathedral - this is St Katharine's Chapel

and here Stephen is taking pictures in the military chapel

On the way out we saw the last 4 bottles of "Sheffield Cathedral Ale" up for offers.

On the way back I stopped at the station and caught a train or two for Jules - the first for Hull, the other Liverpool.

People passed their days in different ways; some ate out, others brought in a takeaway.

And then, a sing song (accompanied by Joe and his monkey)

Patrick and his guitar, and Jonnie and his bongoes

Nick and his voice plus Clare

and the rest of us doing our bit

Nearly time for bed, we sang Father Joe's hymn...

Nasema asante, ewe Mungu wangu. 

I give thanks to God

Wewe mi alfa na omega

You are the alpha and the omega

Hakuna Mungu kama wewe

There is no God like you

Wewe ni Mungu wa upendo

You are the God of love

Wewe ni Mungu wa huruma

You are the God of mercy

Well, we're walking again tomorrow, so Goodnight All!
