Sent to Coventry




"Sent to Coventry" was a new term for me until I was describing Samuel's new move to Mum. This lead on to a quick trip to Google and a little history lesson on Oliver Cromwell's era. This is a round about way of introducing Samuel's new abode on the edge of town. It is a ramshackle farmhouse that is owned by the Anglican Church and was once used as an orphanage. I am a little concerned that it will be fairly impossible to heat and am knitting him a nice warm jumper. Ultimately though he is young and healthy and he can always come home, here, to warm up in the evening before heading to his own home and bed armed with a hot water bottle. Actually, he said that he spends very little time at home as he is kept rather busy with his new role as Youth Pastor Intern at ACC, two days a week at the Optus shop and his lesser role at Young Life Drop in Centre. The first shot shows the rustic kitchen, then the new residence (bookshelf) for Samuel's old friend, Woofa and lastly, his office - pre cleanup.
