All Saints' Day

Thursday 1st November 2012

The North Tyne last month between Bellingham and Falstone

     The day began with my clipping the horse at 7 o'clock (before Morning Prayer at 8 o'clock). This was because with a thick coat Molly had got very hot cantering over the fells yesterday.
       After the 9.30 celebration of Holy Communion for All Saints' Day, I went up the valley towards Falstone to arrange a funeral. In the afternoon somebody came to see me at the Rectory at Bellingham about clergy covering church services in North Tyne and Redesdale.  In the evening (after Evening prayer and petrol buying!) there was a meeting in Corsenside parish concerning a grant-awarding charitable Trust. 
 (If you live in Corsenside parish, you may be eligible to apply for a grant for educational purposes from the Mission Hall Trustees.)
