It feels so good to be worshiping together once again and to be preparing for a Hanbury couple’s wedding with 30 guests, only one week away from the time of writing. Steve and the band in the tower will be practicing a ring of three instead of their usual eight and the grounds are looking lovely as the bluebells fade.

The Royal British Legion celebrated one hundred years since its foundation in post Great War Britain; you may have seen national coverage on the main channels?
