2023 arrives with surprises
The sparse snow that we did get in late December has completely disappeared. All those warm grey days and misty rain have erased any trace.

2nd of Advent
Though the focus this past Sunday was / is Peace, after the service, a friend renamed it “Glitch Sunday”. And it well and truly was.
