Today, Sunday, October 23rd, I set out on a special walk in South Nutfield, hoping to meet some old friends. Before the walk, I  went to Christchurch on Bible Sunday, and had a friendly Christ Church welcome.

I’d written to a few people beforehand, and two joined me – two faces I hadn’t seen since the 1970s! We didn’t even recognise each other at first! Then, we headed up near the priory. Looking down on the village below, we chatted, filling each other in on all the years that had passed.

They now attend Tollgate Evangelical Church, and I attend Trinity URC / Methodist Church in Abingdon.
