What are the ground rules?

I thought I'd better be fairly clear about the financial aspect of the trip.

After all, we were looking at Ananaias and Sapphira in last night's fellowship group. Just shows what can happen if you're not upfront about your expenses. I notice that most of the erring MPs are still alive however, even if no longer in post.

Anyway, the money comes in. So far, so good. My running total is well into the forty-odd pounds now.

I think petrol at 40p a mile is ok.
Food is ok.
Emergency accomodation is ok.
Phone is ok.

I probably won't go out and buy one of these netbooks to do this blog on while I'm on the road. I'll probably buy an in-car charger for my phone,though.

What's it all about?

It's about the parable of the talents.

I gave ten pounds to all the people in our service in Raglan on Sunday 2nd May 2010.

They had to go away and make as much money as they could with their ten pounds.

I'm supposed to get my dough back on 5th October,

As for me, I'm getting a sign made with "busking for Raglan Baptist" on it along with the church website address: http://www.raglanbaptistchurch.org.uk/

I'm going to set out with my guitar in August after a couple of dry runs at the school fete and the music festival. The money I make, I'm going to reinvest in petrol and food and start from Abergavenny, going on to Brecon and then all points west.
