I've been off air for the last couple of days as the wonderful all singing all dancing phone's been playing up. The service provider kept trying to blame the French networks but, 100 years' war not withstanding, I don't think the French were stopping me turning it on!
Have now managed to get it going by (divinely?) inspired fiddling - but for how long???

Random Ramblings of a Village Vicar
Random Ramblings of a Village Vicar
My name is Frances Wookey and I am Vicar of nine churches in rural South Worcestershire. I have lots of wonderful friends and colleagues in the parishes which I care for, and really enjoy the variety of every day in parish ministry. I am also very privileged to be an Honorary Canon of the beautiful Cathedral in Worcester.
I started this blog in 2008 when I spent 3 months travelling abroad on study leave. The name derived not only from the fact that I was visiting pilgrimage sites all over Europe, but also that we are all pilgrims on a journey, even if we never step outside our own front door. So, though I am now back home, I still consider myself to be a 21st century pilgrim. Just as when I was travelling, this is a record of my thoughts about things that I encounter on my journey - some serious, some not.
