Hello! Ok, Ok I know I missed June… Sorry!…but life in the vicarage has been very busy and I have tried my best, that’s all I can say. Summer has arrived in the Parish as you can see from the front cover! There has been lots going on especially with Teams 4 U.
There’s a BIG event happening on 3rd Aug so don’t go on holiday just yet or you may have some disappointed Teddies! Finally let Denis put a smile on your face on Pg 21 he needs some encouragement!
