This cartoon was in Private Eye and it sums everything up better than I can. I should have been celebrating my 25th anniversary of Ordination, instead we are struggling to get churches reopened. We had our first Sunday service at St Matthew’s on 19 July – St Edmund’s has had the builders in, so that delayed things there.


Some local walks to Quorn, Duffield and along the old railway to Breadsall.



A very wet day at Blist’s Hill Museum at Ironbridge.

Trips to Kedleston Hall, our nearest National Trust property.



A new whill3 powerchair from TGA Mobility, named Morgan. It means Julie can get a lot further and I don’t have to push. We took her to Hardwick Hall, another lovely National Trust property.


Facebook ramblings done as usual. I walked 59 miles, so I have done 284 miles this year.
