Eye was concerned to hear that Friends in Colchester arrived recently for Meeting for Worship only to find themselves locked out of the Meeting House. The lock to the front door had broken and the warden was away.

Not to be deterred, all and sundry decamped to the back garden and held the Meeting outside instead.

Great stillness was reported, as people sat on whatever they had to hand, including blankets, bags or even a feet mat from a car!
