WEDNESDAY WORD IS NOW ONE YEAR OLD

One of the quieter successes of this past year has been the continuation of Wednesday Word, which when it began last March had originally been intended solely as a Lenten activity.   Yet its devotees so appreciate it that it has carried on throughout the whole year.   Here, are Clare, Agnes, Cathy and John enjoying the morning sunshine with coffee, biscuits and chat about next Sunday's gospel, as they do every Wednesday at 10.15am in the presbytery dining room.

And here is Agnes again, but rather younger.   Sadly her husband Leo died a few years ago.   He was a wonderful man, and she has only happy memories of him.   Although they lived in Germany and had both Jewish and Catholic relatives, the spirit of toleration was always there between family members.   Agnes has now left her native Germany to live here in Lymington, where she is now settled and very content.
