April saw the end of the hibernaculum project for this year. It was a great idea and I shall do something very similar this year. And as the hibernaculum time ended (Easter Sunday) my Hare Days began. The theme for this period is "Hare today, done tomorrow" and it is proving to be a much more active time than the relaxation of hibernaculum days. Nothing much to show you yet as bags packed for the charity shop, bags for recycling and (sadly) bags destined for landfill, don't make for pretty pictures.
For the first half of the month I was covering for a priest friend who went on an eleven week cruise. I enjoyed doing my bit to help, which was quite demanding as it included Holy Week and Easter. Another friend (who is to retire shortly) is rather ill so Plan B (aka me!) is again stepping in. One day the congregations will say I am too decrepit to take services, but at the moment they seem happy to welcome me and I am happy to go. I conducted funerals for a friend and for a cousin. It's good to be able to do that one last thing for them by offering comfort to their loved ones.
Only four days dog sitting this month but they were four very nice days. Holly and I get on very well with each other.
