School's Out.

Much has been written and no doubt said in the past few days about the closure or non closure of schools, and I am sure there have been many comments along the lines of 'In my day the schools never closed'. I know too that in our office comments have been made about the fact that we have been in whatever the weather has thrown and in fact one of our senior managers sent an email to us saying it was 'Business as usual' which created some comments.
The Vicar's Wife has posted on this topic and it is worth reading both the post and the comments which give some interesting insights.

28 years ago today!

Well folks I can confidently say that 28 years ago today the weather was worse than it is today. I remember on that day an hour before our wedding I was shovelling snow off the church steps and my wife to be arrived at the church in jeans and Wellington boots.
She cause the organist some difficulty because she came into church by a different route and he ended up playing bits of the wedding march he had never seen before.
It was a great day though and around 100 people turned out so it was quite pleasing given the weather.
This morning is very reminiscent!!
