It's snowing...


Actually it seems to be snowing everywhere except Exeter - where the Met Office has its headquarters.

A couple of us have been into St. Cuthbert's earlier today for Morning Prayer - and to change hangings and altar frontal from those used throughout the Epiphany season. We kept Candlemas, the Feast of the Presentation yesterday, mixing the liturgical provision for the Feast with the Baptism of Amelia May Jude - a joyous and well-attended occasion. There were some snow flurries in Consett - where the reception was held - a a biting cold wind, but we can be glad we didn't get today's weather yesterday.

Our Mothers' Union has cancelled its AGM - which had been scheduled for this afternoon. I'd be tempted to sit tight for the rest of the day. But rather ironically I have an appointment with a physiotherapist at our Health Centre to treat my injured Achilles Tendon - and it looks like I'll have to walk (uphill, one mile)...
