When the train arrives at Shildon, J72 class steam locomotive 69023 Joem will shunt 4468 Mallard and 60163 Tornado around the museum’s sidings, so that 60163’s support crew can prepare the locomotive for its return journey.

Exercise for the over 30s

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.??
??
With a 5-kg potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.??
??
Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.??
??
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-kg potato sacks.??
??
Then try 25-kg potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50-kg potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.??(I’m at this level.)

Caged – Feeling trapped?

From the 27th June – 4th July Luke Smith and Gav Loftus are locking themselves in a cage, day and night, outside St Mikes.They are doing this as a visual irony. We constantly find ourselves in metaphorical cages, we put walls up around us that make us to feel trapped. But Jesus brings freedom in all situations, for all people everywhere in the world. So they will be talking to anyone who wanders past the cage about this and offering to pray for and with them. We can support them as a community by praying for them, spending time with them and chatting to others (on the outside of the cage!). They are living by faith for the food – so you could also drop them a cheeky sandwich.

Caged

Luke is a good friend of mine – the appeal for food will be genuine!

Barrie with bike
I know it will rain and I will toil up a steep drenched track against a head wind wondering why I’m doing it. But I love the feeling of just me and a bike pitched against the elements in some remote corner of Britain. This year it’s a route form Sea to Sea – Whitehaven to Sunderland. On the way it winds 140 miles through The Lake District and over the Pennines.

I’ve set myself three days to complete it so that there’s time to enjoy the ride and stop at the odd tea room or two on the way. I leave Cumbria on June 23rd and arrive at the North Sea June 25th 2010.

But the real reason for the challenge is to raise money for two good causes.

I am a trustee of Riding Lights Theatre Company in York. A professional company that depends largely on the donations of its many members. To donate to them click this link C2CforRLTC

In the remote villages of Funzi and Bodo in Kenya people are threatened by a serious outbreak of cholera. Some have already died. The Funzi and Bodo Trust, which is run by Ashley Peatfield – an old colleague from the BBC, has been active in the area for some time. They have already provided a school and medical centre. Recently they have expanded the medical centre and increased the staff to combat the cholera outbreak and treat the people living there. Your sponsorship of my ride will provide funds for that charity. To donate click here http://www.justgiving.com/C2CFunziBodo???

I will be updating these pages as I train and during the ride so keep checking back.

Her last mobile phone call

??

??

??Sometimes only a picture can get our attention!

Her last call was from a cell phone.

Do you see the motorcycle?

Now do you see it?

The Honda crotch rocket rider was travelling at approximately 85 mph(137km/hour). The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident.

??

The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.

??

All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department..Pass this on to car drivers or soon to be new drivers, or new motorcycle owners AND ESPECIALLY EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS A CELL PHONE!!!!!

??

A picture is worth a thousand words.

??

Save a life???

??

Stop talking on Cell phones and Texting while trying to drive. The life you save may be your own or mine.
