Adele, David and Mel were among the many parishioners who came to Fr Jamie's leaving party obviously expecting to enjoy a first-rate evening. In the event it lived up to our highest expectations. It was a huge pleasure and a real privilege to be present on such an enjoyable and important occasion in the annals of our parish.
A big vote of thanks from us all to Monica for her generous contribution towards the cost of the paella. It was extremely tasty, and very popular. We wish the Authentic Paella Company all success in their new venture.
Agnes and Peggy were looking their best, and behind them you can just see one of several tables that were weighed down with the good things that had been brought in by all our generous parish cookery experts. Congratulations to Clare, Patricia, Pam, Jill, Gerry and Lisa for organizing such a superb party, and also to Peter and John G. and their helpers for their stalwart assistance in the clearing-up afterwards, and to everyone else who helped.
Delia, Joan and Audrey, along with us and all our guests, wish Fr Jamie success, good health and happiness at his new Parish in Abingdon.
Pat and Julia chatted over plates of buffet items, mostly home-cooked by parishioners. Our thanks to everyone who produced so many mouthwatering items for us. We couldn't begin to name everybody who contributed, but we must mention Pat herself who made and decorated the fabulous cake which provided the climax to the party.
Just look at this bevy of beauties! Nikki, Ann and Lily were just sitting there waiting for some handsome fellow to come over and take their photo, weren't they! So what a disappointment for them, wasn't it!
