For most people, this time of year has a sad syndrome to it with the
dark nights and winter approaching. For me, late Autumn is a beautiful
time of year - the beautiful colours, the weather still not too cold,
leaves falling in circles, gliding down and resembling the paper
aircraft we all made in our school days.
The
cleaning of leaves for the boys is an endless job, but one which they
go about with good spirits and no complaints. That’s how much the
garden means to all of us – not just me.
As all around us
effectively dies during the winter but it’s wonderful to know that it
will be followed by Spring and the hope of new life. For me, the
service, the approaching of Christmas and Christmas itself is a
beautiful time
We are now one month away from our Christmas Memorial Service and the
weekly meetings and rehearsals with all the staff have begun.
Stars are now
available in reception and each of our branches will have stars
available for everybody to write their messages on and then they will
be placed on the Christmas tree during the garden service.
I hope to see you
all at the Memorial Garden Service on 5th December, starting at 7pm.
It is a lovely evening of remembrance and all are welcome. I will post
more about the service a week or so before the day.
We are very
pleased to welcome into the Parish our new Parish Priest Fr. Mark at
St. Mary’s Church, Rotherhithe and we all wish him well for the
future.
More soon…
Best wishes as ever
