Dull?! Certainly not!

Hope Mr F is better soon.

The tractor and trailer with sheep sounds wondrous.

Settlers: I never got around to looking at it though I think I’d like it. In ye olde days I played Civilization which I enjoyed a great deal.

Marmite is wonderful stuff – I think Lemly might agree. I hope Rusk grows to love it. Haven’t heard a foghorn in ages – but it might have something to do with living inland.

No apostrophes.

Agree with Daisy; and the idea of all carrying and then laying down palm branches before a time of silent confession sounds very moving. Please let us know how it goes.

Sounds good to me! Simple is often best too…

Wow, those are BRIGHT socks! And very cool. Having been to one Mums and Tots session (Aunts and Tots? Still no idea about apostrophes) it was much much harder than going to work. In fact, I think I went to bed 2 hours early afterwards to recover.

And agree with tractorgirl’s suggestions about Mothering Sunday sermons. I remember one awful sermon years ago which ended up with a woman who’d had multiple miscarriages walking out in tears.

Cool socks. Hope you enjoy the training day. As for the Mothering Sunday thing as somebody who has struggled with it in the past, but found it liberating last year a couple of things to bear in mind are:
1) Bring in the history of mothering sunday within it. It’s a way to do both
2) Within your prayers remember – just within one line -those who (i) can’t have children, (ii) the adopted, (iii) those who have had bad experiences, (iv) those who struggle
and (v) the bereaved who are missing their mothers.
3) As you start the sermon acknowledge it is a time of mixed feelings as you’ve said a time of celebration for some and pain for others.

Wow: love the socks! Well done on the knitting — and the awards. The “Lace Luge” sounds particularly interesting.

Great to read of the successes of Mums and Tots [with you on the apostrophes ], and my best wishes and prayers for the Training Day and sermon preparation and all else that lies ahead.

Interactive sermon?

Love the lake district. Didn’t see much of it though. Spent the whole time I was there sick.

Fasting easier when everyone’s doing it. So much less temptation and more accountability.
