Remembering Sean's dad, my Grandad, my great-grandad (rifle remains and medals), and our own service today...

Week one of my new job has concluded with a whole weekend to enjoy 🥳. Remembrance in the morning alongside the boys for first time since 2012- when we marked the armistice in Paris, and Bill was 3!

This time of year for veterans can push buttons in unexpected ways. Fireworks and big Remembrance parades the same week are sometimes just too much. Tonight I was so grateful to Bill for his headphones 🎧 💙

Trying to work out if these letters mean
. Glaze was done by people who couldn't read/write
. They were left handed (like me) and were just showing off
. Some technique meant they couldn't see which way up they were writing until it was too late

The end of an era today. 12 years as rector in the C of E done. And next month an exciting new chapter begins.

Well I'm so pleased that Masterchef was aired, because those finalists definitely deserved to have their journey catalogued. Fab outcome. Well done all 3.

Why thank you TV licensing for wasting an inordinate amount of money on threatening the spiders in my empty property on a monthly basis. They are quite old fashioned and don't watch telly!

4 letters of increasing threats about fact empty house has no TV license
