Hi all – it’s nearing that time of year when I have to slow down due being one of Santa’s Little Helpers so not a lot is happening with the website. I do have loads of material to sort and load but it takes so much time and I am suffering really badly with arthritis […]

Am really busy uploading new items, tidying pages and rebuilding vacated parish pages so not got much time for the blog this week.
