Each one has something special to share with us in everyday ways. The travellers are despairing at recent events but walk in companionship back to Emmaus, trying to make sense of their thoughts. A stranger joins them and takes over the conversation, explaining everything to them. They enjoy his company and, on reaching town, invite him in for supper. In his breaking of bread they believe. When the other disciples say they have seen the risen Jesus, Thomas doesn’t know what to think. Any of us who have been the butt of someone else’s joke, aware of an undercurrent in the room but unsure what it is, can sympathise with Thomas….and so does Jesus who, for Thomas’ benefit alone, visits again and Thomas is quick to believe. The disciples don’t know what to do with themselves. Peter decides to go back to what he knows – fishing - and the others tag along. Someone appears on the beach and offers a little friendly advice on net positioning. The empty boat now cannot hold the deluge of fish that come over the side. Jesus is recognised and they all believe. In all three cases it takes quite a lot of effort on Jesus’ part to be recognised. But with Mary Magdalene? All it takes is her name. What will it take for you? Barbara Priest Mary Magdalene by Daphne Kitching In the opening of scripture and the breaking of bread, In the nail marks and the wound in his side, In the miraculous catch and fish breakfast on the beach, They recognised him. But for me? My Lord said “Mary”. 7 Mark Watts trading as commercial & domestic (BESPOKE) Over 15 years experience PICTURE FRAMING Covering South Somerset, North Dorset and SERVICE West Wiltshire ON THE PREMISES 3 phase and single phase installations Condition reporting and appliance testing for tenanted properties ARTISTS’ MATERIALS Condition reporting for vendors or buyers ART GALLERY Remedial works and fault-finding New builds or extensions Originals, Limited Editions Consumer Unit and accessory changes Prints and Posters All works backed by NICEIC's Platinum Promise - framed & unframed - FIND US AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HIGH STREET ON THE CORNER OF THE 07400 22 88 42 SQUARE [email protected] 01747 824 050 SEAN BARRINGTON SHARPENING SERVICES Garden Shears, Pruners, Secateurs, Loppers, Scissors, Knives, Wood Chisels, Rotary Mower Blades, Horse and Dog Clipping Blades 13 Old Market Centre | Gillingham | Dorset | SP8 4QQ Tel: 01747 228664 | 07950 746416 www.seanbarringtonclippers.co.uk 8 Remembering David Duvall Indoors Or outdoors Leading, accompanying or encouraging Thank You David 9 FOOT CARE CLINIC at EDWARDS FARM, FOYLE HILL Every Tuesday in the month Jenny Franks SRN 20 years experience CRB checked Tel: 01747 853162 For appointments Offering a professional service, producing Planning and Building Regulation Drawings from initial ideas to approval for: New Builds.

He was a talented child, although he didn't speak until he was nearly 3, when he started to speak in full sentences. After primary education, David went to Cumnor House Prep School before becoming a Queen's Scholar at Westminster School in 1961. As a Queen's Scholar, he was required to act as an usher at royal events at Westminster Abbey, which meant that he was present at the service of Thanksgiving for the Abbey's 900th anniversary in January 1966 when he was 17 years old. David was also allowed to sit in the gallery in the House of Commons, and remembered seeing Winston Churchill sitting in his seat. By this time, David had already been awarded a classical scholarship at Peterhouse, Cambridge. He ultimately spent 4 years there, gaining a 2:1 in Classics and a Masters degree. He began training as a Chartered Accountant in 1969, working for a London company and living in a flat in Brook Street, a couple of doors down from Jimi Hendrix. David worked as an accountant for his whole working life, ultimately settling at a company in Reading and teaching other accountants how to spot fraud. This was how David earned money; but it is not how David lived his life. David was an incredibly kind and generous man, giving up a huge amount of his time to a variety of good causes. This involved anything from doing the accounts for a whole number of different organisations, to actually holding a collection bucket outside a supermarket to raise money. David learned to play the piano and organ when he was at school, and he was involved with any number of choirs - I'm not sure there will ever be a definitive answer as to how many - as either chorister or as choir master and/or organist. It was through one such choir, The Bach Choir, that he met Ann Scrivenor in 1973. They became engaged and then married on 1st June 1974. They went on to be married for nearly 47 years, having four children: Christopher, Olivia, Richard and Camilla. David and Ann settled in Woodley, Berkshire, and joined the choir at St. Andrews, Sonning, with David taking over as choir master more or less immediately. It was a role David would take for the next 37 years, entirely voluntarily. Continued page 13 11 Timepiece Restoration Ltd Paul J. G. Stone C.M.B.H.I.
