  • Letter for April 2021

    Dear Friends,  It is hard to believe that is now a full year since that very first lockdown.  Who would have thought that we are still living with restrictions in our daily lives but we pray that the vaccination roll out will soon enable us to return to some sort of normality.  It was interesting to…

  • Letter for February 2021

    It seems to me that many people were hoping that when 2020 ended and 2021 began that things would begin to change for the better.  This was reinforced by the pre-Christmas news that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had been approved closely followed by the Oxford/AstraZeneca one.  The end was in sight, or was it?  Just when…
