Holiday photograph 2

harbour cruises

In these days of increased environmental awareness we must all do our bit, and none more so than purveyors of the traditional ‘harbour cruise’. This modern-day example consists of a rowing boat powered by a helium balloon, which is estimated to reduce emissions by up to 110%. “We limit trips to one person per boat per trip per time,” said a spokesperson, “and typically you’ll expect to cover about ten metres every hour. You can stay out there as long as you like – give us a call on the mobile when you’d like to be reeled in.”

Question for study groups
Do you ever feel like you are sitting in a quite literal rowing boat powered only by a quite literal helium balloon?

Note to THE TEAM (bloggers / commenters / readers, and, to a lesser extent, spammers. DO NOT READ if your job title includes the words ‘Award’ and / or ‘Judge’.)
Can we get away with posting holiday photographs with not particularly in-depth commentary and a study question? I wouldn’t like all of our increased efforts to be derailed by a lapse into trivial content.

    I lead a prayer meeting on rota basis, it is mainly elderly folk who have been Christians longer than I have been alive! At the beginning of the meeting, just after the really old hymn I have never heard of, there is a short teaching, lasts about 10 minutes. Finding a topic which is fresh to the people in the group is hard, and so this post is the kind I love – I can print it out and we can talk about it. I sometimes use your cartoon book too

    My first thought when I scrolled down was ‘what is that 2 legged piggy bank doing floating in the sky’ but then I saw the whole story. I’m all for environmentally aware schemes and this looks like it could be a real winner. There’ll be lots of miners, oil riggers, energy supply workers etc queuing up with plenty of time on their hands once all God’s resources have been exhausted!
