Jane and Alan say:

A huge thank you to everyone for a wonderful 7 1/2 years in the benefice, and for the send off you gave us on 15 February. It was great seeing so many of you at the service, and afterwards at the Sports and Social Club, where we felt overwhelmed by your hospitality, kind words and generosity.

The beautiful card from everyone, which we will frame, and the gorgeous pottery made by Andy Gill will take pride of place in our new home. And we are beyond grateful for the the collection taken for our leaving present and to which so many people contributed - a staggering £6,400 ! Thank you so, so much, we can't believe it, and are absolutely delighted!

For all your friendship and support over the years, and for welcoming us as part of these amazing communities, thank you and God bless.
