THINGS TO DO IN THE SNOW - GO ALONG TO YOUR MATE'S INDUCTION AS VICAR TO THEIR NEW PARISH

TODAY I GAVE UP MY OWN USUAL SUNDAY MINISTRY, ATTENDING TO MY FELLOW BEER DRINKER'S IN THE STANWICK INN. INSTEAD I WAS OFF TO ST MARY'S CHURCH, COCKERTON WHERE OUR GOOD FRIEND FR. DAMON BAGE WAS INDUCTED AS THE NEW VICAR OF THE PARISH.

FR. BAGE YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO HEAR IS PARTIAL TO THE DELIGHTS OF REAL ALE. WHILST, SO FAR HE HAS ONLY HAD THE TIME TO TAKE IN THE TRAVELLER'S REST,  COCKERTON WMC AND THE COUNTY (ON WORK RELATED TRAVELS HONEST GUV) . HE IS COMMITTED TO IMBIBING IN THE BEST THAT DARLINGTON HAS TO OFFER.

IF YOU SEE FR BAGE IN ANY LOCAL HOSTELRIES PLEASE GUIDE HIM TO THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSALE.

ENJOYED THE GLASS OF HOUSE RED AT THE REFRESHMENTS AFTER AND ALSO A VERY FINE BUFFET.

ALL THE BEST TO THE BAGE'S IN THEIR NEW HOUSEHOLD -

CHEERS!
