Wonderful final service today at St Mary’s, SW. Thank you to all that were there, for the gifts, cards and affirmation. I have so enjoyed being Team Rector and Area Dean, and am going to be always grateful to those who I have known and worked with during these 11 happy years.
@CottrellStephen@chelmsdio Thank you for your generous affirmation read out today by Denis Tindley, one of the wardens, and for the memories I have of working with you in various settings.
Great to return to St John’s, Grays North for the confirmation of 6 candidates from this parish, 1 from Great Chesterford, 3 from the home church, and 2 from All Saints, Belhus Park. Thanks to Clive, the vicar, and Bishop John.
Just returned from a great evening @hartsbooks in Saffron Walden interviewing Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch about his latest book Thomas Cromwell - a life.
