has had to come to an abrupt end following the sudden death of Gary’s mother (who was travelling with us) on board ship. Returning to the UK from Durban in shock & deep sadness. Joy Shedden Anderson 1936-2024. May she rest in peace and rise in glory

After crazy golf and helter skelters in cathedrals, I'm now fantasising about a model railway installation running the length of our church nave for August. Visitors will be able to contemplate whether their spiritual lives are "on track," despite delays and cancellations.....
