First, a thank you. I am grateful for the many good wishes during my short spell of incapacity late last year. Normal service has been resumed! Second; an apology. I am sorry that at the point when my heart - metaphorically - was telling me to gather those who so far have so generously supported the emerging Friends of John Keble Church - and encourage more friends -my physical heart had other ideas! But something beautiful has nonetheless emerged - and this is the completion of the Lady Chapel redecoration together with the repair and restoration of its windows - and similar windows elsewhere. Much of this work - so far as the Lady Chapel is concerned - has been done in memory of George Ramsey. But the money so far collected for the Friends has been put to excellent use in relation to other of the windows as well as to supplement further generous gifts in memory of two parishioners - John Hazell and Mabel Ali - which will see new notice boards at the north and south west ends of the church. So we are making an encouraging start on what will of course be a long journey in relation to the fabric.
