Into week three I am beginning to settle back into a routine of work with all the usual joys and problems of working with people. Nothing ever quite goes to plan and life is full of wonderful surprises. It is a priviledge to be here – a part of the community that does so much for others.

At the moment we are preparing for heritage weekend. I am amazed at how much efforts go into all this. Publicity, cakes to be cooked for over 1500 tea drinkers. Gathering odd ends together to make a fair that has something to offer all. I think that we have the best book stall this side of Hay on Wye! There is jam making, stewards getting ready to guide the visitor around our historic buildings. The School is preparing to greet families and show something of their work. Capturing interest in the Church and talking about history in a way that is attractive.  Here are some glimpses of this wonderful event:

Remember our preparations for the weekend and lets hope for reasonable weather!!
