Month: February 2018

I arrived shortly before 11 o'clock  in the vicinity of Holy Trinity church in Paulton to see knots of people trotting up the street. I had momentarily forgotten that this was the second Sunday of the month when youngsters are baptized. It is easy to spot if someone is not used to going to church, they look awkward, they are unfamiliar with the hymns and order of service but to their credit they...

An interesting morning with my men's group. There were about 18 of us, pretty good for such a damp morning at 8 am.
