Many ‘conjobbles’ later …

Back in April I drew attention to a new (yet old) word: Conjobbling! In the months that have past, there have been many opportunities to sit at table and eat and drink (coffee) or walk with others and have a good natter without the aid of electronic devices. Wonderful!

Family and social life has returned to a degree of normality. We’ve been back in our church building on Sundays regularly since July and for some other things mid-week. A recent highlight was Messy Church. We’ve been able to take time out with a short mid-week break in Bideford, a week with the family in Minehead, and a weekend break in Nottingham. It’s been so lovely being out and about with people, albeit still with masks and social distancing as appropriate. Yesterday and today I was involved with school assemblies with a recently formed ‘Open The Book’ group – I loved it! (You’ll see more about what that means on the Bible Society’s website).

Looking ahead, the diary is filling up and the season after Advent beckons. Hopefully the talk of another Lockdown will prove to be just that and we’ll be able to celebrate it in all the traditional ways this time around!

And in other news … Yesterday Helen heard from her Oncologist in Exeter that her recent CT Scan showed ‘nothing suspicious’ – grateful smiles all round!

So, keep calm and keep conjobbling!
