My sons were meeting at the local pub across from the church one lunch time a few weeks back and a bbc film crew bumped into one of them and asked if they knew the Vicar. Here is the result 🙂 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-45086764
Vicar’s letter – July/August 2018

Vicar’s letter – June 2018

Vicar’s letter – February 2018
Dear Friends Every day this Lent which starts on February 14th I'm trying to notice at least one thing to be thankful for, especially if I haven't noticed it before. I might even take a photo. Snowdrops for example so tiny and easy to miss. This is a good year for snowdrops, flowers I have …
