This time of year for veterans can push buttons in unexpected ways. Fireworks and big Remembrance parades the same week are sometimes just too much. Tonight I was so grateful to Bill for his headphones 🎧 💙

Why thank you TV licensing for wasting an inordinate amount of money on threatening the spiders in my empty property on a monthly basis. They are quite old fashioned and don't watch telly!

This is the most gorgeous window in my parish. The view is always stunning whatever the season. And regardless of the fact the church is 'closed' and hardly ever hosts a congregation, the view is always there. There's a message in there somewhere... ❤️

Every 2 years we have Open Gardens in our villages as a little fundraiser. Since the Rectory is still not occupied I spent a happy hour prepping these this morning before church. It'd take far longer to actually harvest the lot!
