After all of the usual preliminaries, Mum, Rachel, Andrew and I went off to Gavinton for the morning service. After a three-week holiday Ann, our minister was back. Our service combined two themes, All Souls and the work of Crossreach (the social work arm of the Church of Scotland). A brief resume of the history and work of Crossreach was given by Clare, our session clerk.
We had coffee following the service and then drove home in time for lunch.


Lunch was, as ever, really good and after lunch, leaving Andrew with Rachel to discuss her computer, Mum and I returned to Gavinton Church to attend a service in which we were encouraged to remember and give thanks for the lives of those we have lost and who were (and continue to be) an important part of our lives. It was a good service.

Back home, Andrew and I moved out to the summer house and soon afterwards Rachel set off for Berwick to attend the service at the Anglican Church. On her return we had another snack before sitting down with Olive and Mum to watch Downton Abbey in front of a blazing stove. It was a fine end to a good day.
