On the 10th December I discovered Cooling Church - see Chapter One of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. The setting of this church moved me emotionally in a way I can't explain, but I vowed then and there to raise money for it's further restoration, hence this tandem parachute jump on the 2nd July in my 76th year.

Do visit it when you are near Gravesend on the Hoo Peninsula.
