After the Harvest Supper

Saturday 27th September 2014

A lovely morning which started with feeding the horses and continued with Morning Prayer in church, followed by returning cooking pans to the provider of the shepherds' pie (who had catered for a hundred) and tea towels to the Town Hall and innumerable other post-event chores.  Owing to someone's indisposition, I had to arrange for a substitute to conduct one of tomorrow morning's church services and decided to fill in for Evensong at Elsdon myself.  Then it was a matter of preparing for tomorrow's Harvest Thanksgiving at Bellingham and for the baptism of a farmer's baby daughter at the service, as well as for the Parish Communion at Thorneyburn.  Not a very early night!
