The harvest festival service at St George's on Sunday was not quite as well attended as usual, perhaps because some felt that the harvest this year wasn't so well worth celebrating. However, aside from the debatable crop yields, the church was beautifully decorated, and the service provided the right atmosphere to consider what most of us take for granted the rest of the year.
As usual, an excellent supper in the Community Hall followed, and we could only feel sorry for those who were unable to partake of Erica Oulton's delicious beef stew and dumplings, or Venetia Verey's vegetarian risotto. A dazzling array of desserts and puddings, for which seconds were virtually compulsory, was provided by various ladies, including Erica and Venetia, Diana O'Grady, Wendy Urry, Joy Rann, Norma Aston, Jacqui Miller and Isabel Favell.
The church flowers were also done by Venetia, assisted by Erica, Norma and Carolyn Campbell. There are photos of some of the flower arrangements here.
We should also mention Janice, our vicar, who had recently returned from her honeymoon with Andrew. The Blog wishes them every happiness.
