Christmas Eve

Tuesday 24th December 2019
The devout dog (who always attends Midnight Mass) and the patient organist both waiting after the service to get home to bed! 

Santa Claus drove so quickly past the Rectory that he didn't throw me any chocolate this year.
 


Almost Christmas

Monday 23rd December 2019

     A lot of driving around (past this puddle in a farmer's field) to arrange various things, such as giving readings to the farmers' children ready for tomorrow's Christingle service at Bellingham. 
     Today was Thorneyburn's Carol Service with the theme this difficult year being The Christmas Message bringing light into the darkness.  A good turnout: with a population of fewer  than 300, there was an attendance of 135.
