Roy has supplied the Dear Friends text this month, and in so doing, allowed me to print a photograph of a narrow gauge locomotive on the Llanberis Lake Railway. Almost 50 years ago I lived in Llanberis and the railway has come on in leaps and bounds.Mrs Clarke writes about the recent admission of Selby Deanery Churchwardens service that took place in St Wilfrid's, and I have another crack at getting gardeners interested in Churchyard Tidying.
