Wife, mother, bit of an RAF historian, shares too many cat pics
Remembering Sean's dad, my Grandad, my great-grandad (rifle remains and medals), and our own service today...

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 🎧 💙

Trying to work out if these letters mean
. Glaze was done by people who couldn't read/write
. They were left handed (like me) and were just showing off
. Some technique meant they couldn't see which way up they were writing until it was too late

The end of an era today. 12 years as rector in the C of E done. And next month an exciting new chapter begins.

These two have been holding out all week for #Caturday

Initially thought this was art work/stained glass...beautifying the multi-storey car park, one autumn at a time.

Restocked candles, wine and wafers yesterday so the parish is set up for the long haul...or a good year at any rate. Also have these two finally being made up... Will be my 'legacy' 😆

Harvest month in full swing...only another 4 celebrations to go....

Relief to get these completed. Now just need to get them made up...Top tip: always ensure you have time to finish your tapestry projects before you leave your post 🤣

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... ❤️

So proud of our boy. Prom this week, then welcome day at college tomorrow. Then there's a birthday 🎂...

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!

Admittedly not taken today, but for Algy most days are #Caturday
