My Bishop has generously agreed that I may take a sabbatical this year – from mid-September to mid-December. It’s something that a colleague pointed out that I was eligible for after ten years in holy orders. I plan to: turn my Let us be Human talks into a publishable book, the Lord – and my therapist – being my helpers; gain the next qualification for sailing; and spend lots of high quality time with my family.

One of those moments when I can’t believe how fortunate I am.
