Just got home and flumped onto the sofa. Think a rare takeaway is called for - joyful day in many ways, but the braincells are done and have left the building (and had largely done so by Evensong...)

And He began to teach them.

11 people engaged in lay ministry and in discerning future authorised or ordained ministries. Bittersweet to meet with 9 of them this afternoon. Four years ago there were 3. #thanksbetoGod

So first of the VS children (second born) has just passed their driving test - and did it first time! #thanksbetoGod

Today’s less joyful hour was trying to ensure children get home from school in Manchester (free weekend!) before #Eowyn shuts down the transport networks tomorrow. #thanksbetoGod they are now almost home.

"We who are strong are not just to satisfy our own desires. We are called to carry the weaknesses of those who are not strong. Each of us must strive to please our neighbors, pursuing their welfare so they will become strong." Romans 15: 1 - 3, The Voice translation
