       A LETTER FROM YOUR ASSOCIATE PRIEST


       Dear friends
       There’s  definitely  been  more of a  chill in  the  air  as  Zinnie  and I have taken our
       morning  walks.    We’ve  been  lucky  that  it  has  been  mainly  dry,  except  for  the
       grass,  and  we’ve  certainly  enjoyed  these  last  days  of  warmth  before  autumn
       really sets in.  We start out now just as the dawn is breaking and it is a lovely time
       to  walk,  quite  quiet  except  for  the  traffic  in  the  distance.    The  morning  I  was

       Black  Hill  and  down  at  shrub  and  tree

       amazing,  not  so  nice  if  you  walk  into
       one though.  I was taking a picture this
       morning  of  two  quite  close  together,
       when  Zinnie  decided  to  try  photo
       bombing and walked right through one
       of  them!    She  looked  lovely  with  it
       wrapped  around  her  nose.    It  got  me
