We had friends from our previous parish to lunch yesterday. Gill is a Reader in the Church of England, and was one of my mainstays when I was rector there.
She brought one of the nicest gifts I have ever received - a wooden fridge magnet carved into the shape of a tulip, which she had made herself. She took up woodworking last summer, and this was one of her creations. I'm so thrilled with it.
We had such a good time with her and Mark - good food, good friends and good fun! Made me feel quite nostalgic for the old parish.
They're still waiting for a new rector, but hope to hear soon that someone has been appointed. They've been without anyone for six months now, which seems quite long enough!
Meanwhile, I'm off to a clergy Chapter meeting in this new deanery tomorrow.
Can't keep away, that's my trouble!
