Well I am glad to report that my week ended on a much brighter note than it started given all the funerals I conducted over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday. Today I went to a fabulous 100th birthday celebration of someone who is very close to the heart of Shirley Methodist Church. And I can report that dear Agnes was absolutely radient as so many went along to wish her well on this very special day. I asked whether she would mind my posting her picture on here and she was very pleased that I should do so, so here she is showing me her card from the Queen.

And here is the lovely cake she was presented with. It was a really wonderful celebration and Agnes is a great inspiration to us all.
