Chaplaincy Rules OK

Yesterday morning, the CIH switched into chaplaincy mode. He made a visit to the Pen Factory and chatted to several of the workers there and then popped into the school to chat with the staff at lunchtime.

First, the pen factory. This was a visit that the CIH was feeling extremely nervous about. It's not because he was frightened of the place or the people, it's just that he didn't really know what was expected of him or how he should be tackling the task of walking around a working factory and talking to people that are involved in processes that need full concentration. As it turned out, it was a worthwhile visit and nothing to be worried about at all. in the end the CIH only managed to cover just over half of the factory and resolved to try harder next time.

Second, the school. Our CIH was not at all worried about this one because he has been in lots of schools and knows what they're like. He enjoyed sitting in the staff room and hearing tales of what his children have been up to. Thankfully, it was all good so he can continue to show his face in the village.
