In case it's too hard we'll make it easier for you! Mind you, you might still want to enlarge the picture? Don't you think the colours are lovely and autumnal?
As you can see we've been helping to erect a gazebo in front of the Hindolveston village church. This is the clue to the reason for the party: it is to celebrate this Church's 75th birthday. It's actually surprisingly young for a Norfolk church and its nearest neighbour is over 900 years old. The reason why it is so young, is because it was only built when the old church fell down, on a Sunday when there should have been a service taking place. Thankfully the church was empty when the roof caved in, as the Vicar had forgotten to tell his parishioners about the service. Talk about a close shave!
Anyway old or not, 75 years is a good excuse for a party. The Bishop of Lynn and lots of other local people are coming to a special service tomorrow, followed by a lunch which can confidently predict (having seen the preparations) will be rather good.
We'll all be there armed with our camera, so will be able to give you a full report of this happy community occasion.
In the meantime we thought you'd like to see a clearer picture of some of us hard at work. Good job Henry and I have a head for heights.
Lots of love Chelmer and Henry xxx
