Bridlington Sunrise on New Year’s Day. [Retirement Day 1]

 

"Greetings from among the packing boxes on the Costa del Bridlington. We seem to be getting there with the unpacking, just finding where to put the unpacking, however our new found leisure means we are getting to go and look at the sea each day. We are both most grateful for our seventeen and a bit years with you in Castle Vale and Minworth and for the many very generous gifts and kind wishes which marked our retirement. With every assurance of our continuing prayers". 

 

Fr. J. & Phaea.
