A first.

This is the chapel of the Congregational church in our village and in a few weeks time we will be using this room as a changing room for the cast of the village pantomime.

We often have to work around the mats and equipment set out for Pilates classes on Tuesday and Wednesday. It always looks a bit bizarre but today, for the first time, I was using some of it as I joined a beginners' class for the very first time.

I think it will be good for me and help me to strengthen some of my muscles and relax others. Apparently my knitting has tightened up my right shoulder and neck muscles so looking forward to some improvements.

You may well find a similar shot from Corinthian Column today as she too came to this class for the first time.

A good 'first' for the New Year and a good way to end the Christmas period on this day of Epiphany.
