Rev Dr Susan Ramsaran

Struggling to get up in the dark at seven o'clock and with the days still drawing in rapidly, we're really looking forward to the clocks going back and giving us some light in the morning.
   Met two of my neighbouring clergy to chat about things over lunch.  They may be waiting avidly to see what I have written about them   --   but I doubt it.
   On the way back, I stopped in Hexham to buy camera batteries and prayer cards (thus saving a n extravagant return jounrey of 34 miles) and bumped into a parishioner with whom I had a useful conversation about access over an open churchyard to a building which is no longer in use as a church (thus saving another journey, up the valley this time).
