Imagine the scene: half a dozen wagging tails as their owners met and ’conversed' in the broad aisle of our village church.

A grand sight in a grand site!

Once again, during a lovely service, we heard insights on animal husbandry from sheep farmer, James Duncan, and points to look for when showing dogs in competitions, from Sheelin Cuthbert. Our prayers were led by people of all ages, and a moving description of ‘love’ read by Jenny Rayner.

Folk who don’t often get a mention are those who arrive early to prepare everything - so special thanks to Carolyn Maddox, William Travis and Ian Newton.
