Tonight I went to our monthly gathering we call :Christians in a Pub'. Not that it's anything special. There are Christians in pubs every night of every week all over this town (village!).

There were ten of us tonight representing about five different Sunday congregations. We chatted, we prayed for our town and nation and specifically foe one another. We shared stuff and experiences from the Christian services we'd attended during the day.

And what's not so surprising about finding Christians choosing a pub to meet in? After all, Jesus' first miracle involved supplying an excess of wine for a local wedding. And he spent a significant amount of his time with publicans.

God bless us whenever and wherever we are.

It was freezing cold in the morning and I could have jumped in the car with its heated seats and joined the traffic queue to work. But I chose to ride because having an electric assist option and totally puncture proof tyres meant I knew I'd get there, without getting all sweaty and without bothering about a flat tyre.

It also meant I wasn't bothered about the late return journey, even in the snow for all the same reasons.

I still prefer non electric rides for leisure, but for me the Freego bike gets me out cycling when I would otherwise drive. And it's not a moped! You do still have to work at it.
