Last week on Facebook we saw a friend appealing for help with a Christian camp on the East Coast as they were desperately short of staff so my daughter volunteered her help, got herself packed and ready to go in just 2 days. She has been to camp many times but this was the first time as a leader, she has had a great time with many blessings and has enjoyed it immensely despite the cold nights and wet days.
We did get a desperate phone call at 7 on Wednesday morning. The previously fine weather had turned wet with a vengeance and her trainers had sprung a leak. Wet feet are not a good idea for her as she suffers from Raynaud's syndrome, hence the plea for us to go over and take her waterproof boots. I added some pairs of thermal socks to the boots for good measure.
We were invited to stay for the evening meal which was lively and very loud but we enjoyed the atmosphere and company of the children. Everyone was grateful that we had taken the boots - I guess she might have moaned about her feet a bit, or maybe they were just concerned about her.
Me? I'm just glad they were on the East Coast and not in Wales!
