Christmas Is Coming And We Have New Vicar 😋

So we had a very exciting morning at church…actually Nix did, I was asleep for most of it. Nix and the other churchwarden Kay were able to announce to the church that they have a new vicar. They have been unable to tell anyone about it until certain checks had been done so it’s been quite difficult for them. Now everyone knows and we are all looking forward to Rev Dominic Fenton coming to join us. He had to tell his church this morning that he would be leaving so that would’ve been quite difficult for him I should imagine. I had my photo taken with Nicky and Donald after the service, they brought me biscuits 😋

We have a carol service this evening so we’ll be going back just after 5 o’clock as we’re on welcoming duty. Nix has got some fairy lights to wear around her neck but she’s not sure what the rules are in the Church of England. They’re quite fussy about when they turn the lights on and when they don’t so she needs to check that it’s okay. 

I don’t think I’ll do that well for walks today, but I don’t mind because I do quite like to sleep. We had a nice long walk this morning along the beach and I’ll get one before we go to the carol service, but I shall be ready for my bed when we get home. When we went out last night there was a really unusual Sky and Nix said she could see Jupiter and for anyone who is vaguely interested also Cappella which is one of her favourite stars, I have no idea why. Actually, it’s probably because it’s one of the brightest ones so you can actually see it even with the street lamps on. Apparently in the photograph Jupiter is the little dot Southeast of the moon though you’ll need your glasses on to see it 🙄

We’re sorry we missed seeing the steam train go through Shoreham a week or so ago…
