Rogation Day (Monday)

There are times when the beauty of the Creation hits you between the eyes. I've been sitting at my desk compiling the hymn lists for the Sunday services through 'til June.

    Dear MP, everything looks better in sunshine, but the picture doesn't show the bare patch where the moss has just been scarified, nor the weeds that grow across the lawn, nor the brambles, nettles etc. Nor does it show the cost of having a gardner every fortnight!
