St Paul's Parish Hall - Paterson

I am moving very slowly today. Just when I thought things were getting a bit easier, I tore a muscle in my hip while I was stacking logs in our wood shed yesterday afternoon. I am supposed to be the 'responsible adult' at the moment too.

Not too sure how much time I will be able to spend sitting at the computer today, because my hip is really painful.

Good job David and I aren't horses, we would have been shot by now.

Today's posting from our day at Paterson is of St Paul's Parish Hall. You can't actually get a good photo of the actual St Paul's Church from the road because it is surrounded by trees, but the Parish Hall looked so quaint with its bell to ring for the Sunday School children.

St Paul's Church was built in 1845, but the adjoining land wasn't acquired until much later and in 1896 the parish hall and Sunday school was built.

Ouch, that sounds painful, hope you are feeling better soon.

[Dawn]

[Margo]

Take more care beautiful lady!!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh Babs , the two of you are in the wars at the moment -- just take care and rest that back !! Nice quaint building - an unusual bell post !! and the door and windows look like a face !!

[Rachel]

Oh no Babs! Do hope you can rest that hip.

[Valerie Chesney]

Beautiful old building.....so sorry Babs, try to rest up over the weekend, David too....:) :)

[sally agnew]

Lovely simple architecture. I think some resting on the couch with a good book is a remedy for you both. Take care Xx

[Chris K]

dear little old building. Babs you really must take it easy for a bit and have a quieter weekend if you can possibly bear it :)

[Connie Little]

Take care of yourself. Rest and lots of it.

[Gosia]

Please look after yourself. Love those old buildings.

[Casablanca]

Ow ow ow! Hope that settles down speedily for you. Epsom Salts in a warm bath can help it work towards healing. You two are really going through it at the moment, aren't you!
Sweet building, I can imagine it ringing with laughter of children

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely shot of that quaint looking church. Take care of yourself, Babs.

[gloria jones]

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]

I hope you are ok!!!! Lovely captured

[Claude Trew]

What a lovely church. We I look at the front of the church I can see face.
Hope you are getting better soon.

[Carole Sandford]

A lovely looking church. Shall have to start calling you Calamity 😂 Feel better soon!

[Ann Williams]

A lovely building and it looks well maintained and loved.

[Pat Knowles]

What a useful little building, loads of fun & family gatherings in there! It looks well loved! So sorry about your back Babs, stacking logs is not a good idea at the moment when you are so busy but needs must when David is out of commission at the moment, I would have done just the same! Rest up & gave a nice soak in a hot bath!

[HelenM]

Rest up and I hope you get better soon

[KWind]

Pretty church!

[Lois]

Lovely church!

@nicolecampbell @dawnee @777margo @beryl @888rachel @happysnaps @hermann @cruiser @littleconnie @gosia @casablanca @mittens @seattlite @sangwann @olenadole @claudiet @helenm2016 Thanks. Feeling much better today. Back still sore, but nothing like it was yesterday. I had a lovely hot bath and rested most of the day, a hot water bottle on my back all night eased the pain a lot and I had a reasonable nights sleep.
Got to be fit by tomorrow because we are taking friends to the theatre in Newcastle and I am the driver.

[Babs]

@happypat I am a glutton for punishment. Had to move the logs though because rain was forecast. A soak in the bath did the trick.

[Babs]

@carole_sandford Calamity is a good name for both David and I at the moment. ha ha. Roll on next year, I am fed up of this one.

[Marnie]

Blimey Babs, have you walked under any ladders recently? Or kicked black cats, or … You are having the most incredibly awful run of medical bad luck. Do take care, we need you healthy and posting.

[ChristineL]

Oh so easy to do but you must be fed up with all these troubles! I hope you feel better soon, take care.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Put a little steeple on it and it would look like a church. Quaint little hall! So sorry to hear about your hip- my goodness you both are so battered right now! But I love your determination!

[Jennifer Eurell]

I was looking at this little building in Paterson last week - and thinking that I must spend a bit of time in Paterson one day and take some photos - it is a lovely little town. They also had some very nice yoghurt in the general store. Next time. Nice shot.

[Kathy A]

Another lovely little church. Sorry to hear about your hip, hope its on the mend now
