Been a long day. Up early and to St. Mary's for early service. Ann was Deaconing and I read the first lesson (for Crowbard's information - he takes a brotherly interest in these thing- it was the last six verses of the 15th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles- it struck me whilst reading it that the late Saint Paul could be an argumentative beggar at times). Quick brekky in church - tea, bread, butter and an odd mixture of honey and lemon curd - long story, with which I won't bore you, then to a house in town where I'd to look at some clocks, two not going, and two going well, all nice clocks. Agreed to restore the long case clock (by a Lincolnshire maker, Shaw of Gosberton) after we get back from our trip to Sweden later in the year. Quite looking forward to getting my hooks on the clock. Home, sandwich lunch, then a quick zizz for both of us. Later in the afternoon our Dean called (at Ann's request) and stayed about an hour chatting about a couple of potential Church problems (NO, not us). I think we all three felt we'd cleared the air a bit.
Took the above Photie earlier in the month in Southwold Churchyard. It shows Sarah and her younger cocker spaniel, Mango, who was getting rather excited; as of course any young dog would do at finding itself in an ancient, well stocked boneyard and not being allowed to dig.
Goodnight all.

Yes Mike he's still arguing in chapter 16 - not with his mates now but with the Philippian Magistrates who had put him in gaol. 'I'm not leaving this gaol 'til you come and say 'please pretty three times - so there!'
I can't recall a single instance of diplomacy in his career. Probably had some Irish genes - like us!
that appears to be a very interesting headstone just behind Mango the dog, skull and crossbones carved into the top of it?
Hello Crowbard. Yes, and he did pull rank occasionally as being (rather unexpectedly) a Roman Citizen.
Hello Maggie. I've commented on your question by answering it in Thursday's blog entry. Mainly so that I can show you a better photo of that gravestone.
