Gifts, blessings and Greetings

HennikerChurch
A red Cashmere sweater that makes me look soft, cuddly and slim. (not many people look cuddly AND slim).

A new 2 CD production of Haydn "The Creation" which I intend to leave a couple of hours for some afternoon when everyone else is doing much less civilised stuff around the telly.

Coldplay, James and the Beethoven's 7th Symphony wrapped together as a gift package of eclectic music.

A book of the Duke of Edinburgh's politically incorrect gaffes and hilariously witty put downs which makes the Duke sound like a lot of fun to accompany.

Chocolate laced with chillies, and a large bar of chocolate with caramelised hazelnuts and praline.

A box of three bottles of rather fine selected red wines.

A hand cast metal paperweight in the shape of the dove of peace now sitting on my desk beside several other important objects of spiritual import to me – (including my holding cross, a 19th century brass light switch, a framed 1940's postcard of Izaak Walton's window in Winchester Cathedral).

So I've had a good Christmas – enriched further by good company and some surprise emails, phone calls and other people stuff. I'm just off to phone Bob and Becky – Becky is the much loved minister of the church in the gloriously Chirstmassy photo above. So if you read this Becky, leave a comment as kind of literary footstep in the snow!

Peace to all and joy forbye!

    Hey Rebecca! Sorry to miss you on the phone the other night. Thanks for the Fib. How good is it to have a church that actually looks like a Christmas card?
    Bob
    and
    Becky
    Maccini.
    Some ministry team!
    Becky the weaver of fabric,
    who weaves community, mixing textures and colours,
    working the loom by good preaching and strong liturgy, the warp and woof of love and life.
    Bob will get his Fib when he’s got his black belt!!!! Peace and joy.
