Another Glass of Mulled Wine?
What a party!
The CIH emerged this morning from a 'mulled-wine induced stupor' to face the day. But the open house thing was only at the end of the day. Let me first, fill you in on the rest of the day's events.
After morning prayer, the CIH took a trip down to the pen factory so that he could offer his Christmas greetings to the staff. He decided a good use of some of the left over mince pies he had from the Christingle service was to start giving them away. So he took some of these with him and handed out boxes of mince pies to each department. Staff were bouyant and looking forward to their well-earned Christmas break.
After his short (one and a half hours) visit to the pen factory, the CIH went with the Rector in Highley (RIH) to Park House Care Home to give Holy Communion to the residents and to sing some carols. It's fair to say that this is probably the least favourite of all the CIH's responsibilities but one that is as important as all of the others. Who knows, he might get to enjoy it.
Mr & Mrs CIH went, with their children, for lunch at The Rectory with Mr & Mrs RIH. Another excellent lunch with a good selection of food. Thanks very much.
Now on to the evening.
The CIH's family had been hard at work all morning baking cakes for the evening do. Having made something in the region of 6 litres of mulled-wine, the CIH and his family were ready to welcome visitors. The first arrived just after 6pm and the last ones left at about quarter to ten. The CIH was seen to be enjoying his mulled wine but even with his constant consuming of the stuff, only two-thirds was used leaving 2 litres ready for another occasion. I wonder if there is any chance of a clear, concise and cohesive sermon on Christmas Day? We'll have to wait and see. Any way, by all accounts it was a good evening and one that is probably worth repeating.
More tomorrow. Bye
