"I felt a little guilty leaving my husband looking after our son on Saturday morning. Normally, on Saturdays I join my team out canvassing or have a meeting in the Borough or arrange to see someone who has contacted me to raise a concern. However, I don't generally leave before breakfast.
On this occasion, however, I had the treat of a spectacular Full English Breakfast at St Nicholas' on Canvey. The Church holds regular monthly breakfasts for women and another for the men on a different Saturday. It is just a very nice relaxed and informal occasion - this week there were thirty or so women from teenagers to those in the 80's - and no evidence of anyone worrying about calories!
Afterwards we had a sneak, private preview of the Girls Brigade fundraiser that was set up in the church hall for later. St Nicholas' has always had a welcoming, warm atmosphere. It's value to our community goes far wider than purely as a place of worship. Their Christmas Celebratory Breakfast on December 5th is for both sexes and it's so popular that they are having to take bookings"
