Mass at Winterton.
The first since last year. The rector, also rural dean, is on extended study leave. Rumour has it there's more to it in terms of burn-out, but he sounded alright when he made the arrangements for today. Ah, the gossip abounds in all congregations.
There was a little family there. Dad and two sons obviously totally at ease with themselves, other church members and with the ceremonial of what is a very high church. The two lads came up alone for a blessing and skipped back to their seats.
The footings are in opposite; now we wait for the bricklayer to arrive.
