This made Jane smile: Sue Thomas and her messy team in Wigan held ‘Messy Missing Person’ this month, based on Jesus lost in the temple. The older ones were invited to make a 68-mile trail (apparently the approximate walking distance between Nazareth and Jerusalem) along roads on road maps. One of the team is a compulsive ‘saver’ and had loads of full size Ordinance Survey maps of Epping Forest available. There are still 80 going begging if anyone wants some!
