Introducing the Deacon of Dribbly

I went to Sheffield on Sunday for Ali's ordination which was very exciting (not least because I can't remember the last time I saw her in a skirt, let alone a dress!). Thought I might have to go to Sheffield by dinghy but thankfully the rain held off - right until Brenda and I set off on the ten minute walk back to the car, when it started hailing! Lovely. All in all it was a fab day (although Brenda and I did let ourselves down a little by waving to Ali as she processed in at the beginning of the service- not the done thing apparently, well judging by the fact no one else in the congregation moved a muscle. The shame! )

Dribbly, we are excessively proud of you. I found the most perfect pressie for you whilst out shopping today and will post it a.s.a.p. Needless to say it is eminently suitable for the modern vicar about town! (ahem)

Me and Ali!
