Hello, My name is Reverend Sian, and I am the new Curate with the Anglesey Group of Parishes. I live in Cambridge with my husband, 2 daughters, 2 cats and a very bouncy yellow Labrador. My background is Administration/Database/Web Content Management/Sales so this is a very different role for me, but I feel I am very much where I am supposed to be and am really enjoying the calling God has placed on me. I have been working with Reverend Max over the past few weeks since my Ordination and I have been really enjoying getting to know your wonderful villages and the people in them, I have even managed to enjoy one of the lovely walks in Lode and am really looking forward to exploring many of the other walks around the villages. I will be gradually meeting and chatting with lots of you over the coming months, something I really enjoy doing - talking! and once the weather cools you will probably see me out and about with the bouncy Labrador, please do come and say hello. Reverend Max and I had the great pleasure of attending both the Swaffham school's productions of Oliver Twist and the Wizard of Oz. So much fun and the acting and singing was fantastic, I can't wait for next year's performances! We also enjoyed the year 6 leavers service in the churches, and it was really lovely to be able to share this with the children, including the tears! The Quy Church fete was great, and it was wonderful to be able to meet more people, and watch you all as many smashed plates, wanged welly's and zoomed about on the tractor. I was also very popular at home, as I returned with lots of delicious cakes! I am so pleased to be able to serve my Curacy with you all and am really looking forward to getting involved in your village life. Do come along and see us at any of the churches, I'd love to meet you all. God bless, Reverend Sian
