Sunday doesn't go according to plan

Sunday 31st August 2014

From the road between Otterburn and Bellingham
a little way from where I stopped to see if I could help at the scene of a motorbike crash.  The congregation at Elsdon forgave me for starting the service a quarter of a hour late.  (I was already cutting it fine having called at St Cuthbert's Bellingham and Corsenside to deliver publicity about the St Cuthbert's Festival walk next Saturday.)  After Elsdon I called at Otterburn for a counter-signature on a cheque for printer ink (urgently ordered for said publicity amongst other things).  In the afternoon I visited two families to arrange funerals.  In the evening things returned to "normal".
