Well, hands up who is fed up of snow and ice? Well me for one. Admittedly the first flurry was met with excitement and wonder, with a bit of the inner 8 year old waiting to get out and build a snowman.
It's a wet and about to be windy day as I write the leaves have mostly fallen from the trees, and the stark cold of winter awaits us. All looks bare, and the stunning colours of autumn have faded, the leaves fallen to the ground. Everything looks more black and white. Kate wrote last month of November and the coming of winter as a time of transition, of a time to look forward to a future where God's values of love, peace and justice are at the forefront of our community and our lives.
Greetings. The summer appears to be well and truly over and the Autumn
has started, both at school, and in the weather. And there are new
starts here at St Peter & St Mary Magdalene's too. At the end of
June, in Ely Cathedral, Jenny Gage, our new Curate was made a Deacon in
the Church
As I sit here in my study - with beautiful views over the field, full of rabbits and a couple of horses, over to the allotments where gardeners are already hard at work, where the sun is shining, the birds busy with beaks full of twigs and worms, where the smell of fresh coffee wafts up at me from my desk, I sit here and thank God.
Some of the best April Fool's I have seen in the past few years have included, a car without a steering wheel, from BMW purporting to have been developed in response to a new European Directive.
Ely Diocese is 900 years old. Our five parishes here are in the south east of the Diocese, which stretches in the north almost to the doors of Peterborough Cathedral, and beyond to the village of Water Newton on the A1, and in the south west to Gamlingay.
