It is that time when the fledgelings, the cubs and the kits are venturing out in nature. Spring is ‘abuzz’ with new life. Fox cubs born during March and April typically in the UK will begin venturing out from their dens in the coming weeks but will still stay close to Mum. Their colour is a little duller than their parents but will soon take on that stunning red auburn with a white muzzle as they move through the woodlands. They will play with anything they can find. Any object and each other is a whole new adventure. We wish them well and we wish kindness upon them as they bravely take on the big world and all that she has to offer.

Plenty was on offer last night in Chawton as we had Spencer Rose coming to visit, and it was just such a lovely evening. Spencer gave us such thoughtful words with his address and then went on to bring such lovely messages. We always love having you Spencer. Thank you!!

The evening was chaired beautifully by Steve stepping in at the last minute due to illness. Thank you Steve!! We had readings and prayers to lift us. We sang some favourite hymns and enjoyed Carole’s cake as always. Thank you to hospitality, the Julie and Lisa music team, our healers always on hand afterwards and all those who set up and break down each week.

Prayer of the week

Please pray for the victims and all those affected by the tragedy in Canada. These senseless incidents cause complete chaos and devastation within families.

Calendar up next.

Have a beautiful and I am told ‘sunny’ week. Spring is out there and she is glorious!

We celebrated Easter yesterday and as we were driving to church Mr Shackleton and I came across a stunning but injured bird in the road with her deceased fledgling. The bird was huge and as I grabbed a towel to place her up a country path to see what I could do, whilst searching frantically on my phone for rehabbers or advice, she passed. A sad sobering moment of springtime and Easter.

She was beautiful and so big with large strong legs. I knew she was a hawk and it turns out she was a Goshawk with her fledgling which was very well developed and large. Goshawks have bounced back from near extinction in the 1800s but are still fairly rare. There are reported to be only 600 pairs of them across the UK which made this event especially sad, but the Easter message is continuing life and we know this goes for all who live, so we wish her and her ‘fledger’ well on their way. Please take due care and attention on the roads this springtime. A little less speed may spare some lives.

We gathered last evening in Chawton and had a lovely family Easter night. We heard beautiful prayers and readings and caught up on the Easter story. Rob gave a thoughtful inspired address as Nerina chaired beautifully.

Carole did not disappoint with her Easter cake. We also had meringues I believe whipped up by Sue. We are so spoilt. Thank you hospitality, Lisa and Julie our music team, and our healers, and everyone who sets up and breaks down.

Prayer of the week.

Please pray again for our leaders that they would receive guidance and also find more kindness within their hearts and govern accordingly.

Calendar up tomorrow.

Happy Easter Monday!!

Have a beauuutiful week !!
