The top of the garden.

The Feast Day of Saint Irenaeus. A second century Bishop.
Patron saint of Apologists and catechists.
Born Smyrna, Asia Minor, circa130. Died c 202, Lyon, France.
He helped expand Christian communities in the South of France.

The weather is very dry and close with rain possible as the day goes on.

I did my morning tasks, cat care, prayers and buying our Saturday Mail.

Then I went to the Methodist Church table top sale.
I have lived in Rishton since 1989 so I know many people from the four main churches.
Mary was selling jewellery, so I bought a long necklace of black and white beads.
Ian and Julia were selling beautiful framed photographs but I knew they were too expensive for me to buy.
I bought for Paul a lovely Gibsons 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. The theme is Beautiful Britain
My new friend Stacey and her husband Matthew were on their stall Made in Rishton. They had handmade brooches, flowers and keyring. The pretty felt floral brooch appealed to me most so I bought that.
My last purchase was a delightful floral design cream ceramic candle holder.
Paul has now gone shopping while I listen to Mass from St Marie's in Sheffield.

Have a lovely Saturday blip friends and thank you for visiting my site today.
