If there’s one thing Dads like, it’s breakfast. And we’re not talking your gluten-free, wheatgerm-on-rye, ooooh-that’s-enough-banana-for-me stuff either. We’re talking proper breakfast. The sort that fills you up all day. Ideally, the sort that could fill your entire family up for the day.
And if you combine this with a nice place to eat it, a splash of healthy fresh orange washed down by gallons of freshly ground coffee and your morning paper of choice, how could you possibly get your morning off to a better start?
The answer came in the shape of our Father’s Day service 2010. Before the church service proper, Dads including yours truly were invited over to the St. Matthews building (nice place: tick) to eat large quantities of Full English Breakfast (food: tick) over coffee and a paper (essential luxuries: tick). But the food was lovingly made – and washed up – by the fantastic kitchen team - and brought to the table by none other than our own children!
Quite what carrot/stick arrangements were in place to cajole said children into doing this I don’t know – but it did take a special morning and sprinkle some extra magic onto it.
Thanks to all who cooked, washed, served – and got the papers – from all the Dads who attended. Fantastic day!
Heads up for the dads: Best not forget 03 April 2011 – Mother’s Day!
