Busy

Posted on by

Just to say that things are very busy at the moment – Lenten stuff, annual meetings, all the usual

– but joy of joys, my daughter is being baptised tomorrow morning, and I am just going to be playing the part of Dad – and that means that I don’t have to write a sermon this afternoon – I can put up a blog post instead! At least, until the wedding couple arrive…
