Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be any more rain in these parts, the skies become dark and the rain begins again. The weather has been flip flopping from bright blue skies interspersed with clouds and chilly crisp temps, to downpours upon downpours. One of my robins in the garden is, as is all nature, just taking it in his stride and appears with the brighter spells.

This past storm Eowyn has been quite harsh, especially in the north. The Met Office names these storms in alphabetical order with suggested names from the public, collaborating with the weather services from the Netherlands and Northern Ireland. The next name on the list is Floris. Spring is not that far away..

Yesterday evening church was cancelled in Chawton due to the power cuts. We hope we got the message out via sign, email, text and phone plus social media. It was a dirty night. Hope all are safe.

Prayer of the week

Let us keep the same prayer going for the hostages to be returned in Israel, after a hiccup, and that Gaza can return to at least pick up the pieces of whatever is left, mourn and start again.

Calendar up next

If you are walking those dogs. Find a gap and go quickly. Things seem to change in a heartbeat!! How wet do you and pooch want to get!
