On 24th May - one of the hottest days of the year I went to the beautiful village of Dulverton on the edge of Exmoor. My service at the Congregational Church included my presidential address with ministers Basil and Elizabeth being very convincing "interrupters".
A very appetising Church lunch followed with a chance to meet a very welcoming and warm fellowship more informally
I just had time for a quick visit so see Elaine Marsh, now 93, and one time minister at Chulmleigh Congregational Church (a friend of Elsie Chamberlain's)
Later in the afternoon we joined the Anglicans for a Rogationtide visit to a local farm, the home of the Thomas-Everard family. We asked God's blessing on the different parts of the farm and on the farming community. We also learned a great deal about all the problems facing farmers at this time.
