On our way to Diocese of Salisbury clergy day with Ian, and James Mercer in his Morris Minor all the way from Purbeck! Can't wait to see everyone!

Great harvest of flowers from my garden, making the curatage smell rather delicious.

Gorgeous day yesterday witnessing the marriage of wonderful friends, Andrew & Ed. Also a sad reminder the CofE still isn't marrying LGBT+ couples. Luckily we still celebrated, laughed, danced, for two people who have loved, respected, supported each other, for almost 20 years🥂❤️

Having a blast with the Shaftesbury Dream Scheme programme this week. Yesterday we worked on the gorgeous community farm at Shaftesbury Homegrown. Lots of children and young people joining us for the scheme. Looking forward to more fun activities today and tomorrow. Diocese of Salisbury

This was such an amazing scheme. To see that spark in those little eyes, and the pride and excitement at collecting their points; to watch local people connecting with each other. And it's probably fair to say the grown-ups had just as much fun.

Back from yet another amazing Greenbelt Festival festival. Fab talks & performances, wonderful to catch up with old friends & make some new ones. Such a joy to be surrounded with mindful, reflective, inclusive, & outward looking people for 4 days every year. Last photo thanks to I, Usher

Well, even the BBC has stopped trying to pretend... The BBC...

It's that time of the year when I listen to Bach's Christmas Oratorio on repeat while working or writing sermons, with fairy lights on of course. Always finding myself humming along. 🎶🎵Anyone has a favourite recording?

Yearly reminder.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!🎉🎄🥳🙏🏼 Unexpectedly ended the year with a fab group of gorgeous friends at the @PilsdonComm. And the in-house entertainment was 👍👏

Great fun chatting to the year 10 pupils the other day The Ladies' College, Guernsey Thank you for inviting me. m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

A few weeks ago we had our 20 year school reunion at my old Lycée in Strasbourg Le Gymnase : Lucie Berger - Jean Sturm. It was so lovely to see some old school mates and hear what they've been up to for the last 20 years. Here are the before and after photos too 😉 gymnase-network.blogspot.com/2023/06/20-ans…

It's all official! 😊 I'm so very excited and it is such a privilege to be able to serve the people of St John's Church, and Guernsey prison. I look forward to many years of ministry on Guernsey.

It was a privilege to take the service at sea aboard the Guernsey Lifeboat for the 80th anniversary. Thank you to everyone who helped and took part.

Today St John's Church Guernsey officially gained a new churchwarden. Paul was sworn in at the Ecclesiastical Court this morning. We now have a complete churchwarden team. 🥳👏👏⛪ Oh and the Bible was in French!😀

Today we're surveying the damage from the storm at St Jon's Church Guernsey. A few trees down, and a lot of clearing, but very thankful that as far as we know, our parishioners are all safe, and our buildings intact.

Aaaaand a huge sigh of relief... A tiny tiny tiny step forward, towards respect and dignity and inclusion. "In the end there are only 3 things that last. Faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love" 🙏🥰🏳️‍🌈❤️🙏 theguardian.com/world/2023/nov…
