Dear Friends and Parishioners, and from the heart,

May I wish you a very happy and blessed Christmas and New Year.  It is of course still Advent, that almost forgotten Season, and here we are all in purple and black looking backwards and forwards.

How has your year been?  I have had lots of weddings, funerals and baptisms, all the splendid usual.  I had several garden parties: sixty cups, plates, saucers and glasses to wash up every time!

As I jog along, almost 16 years now in this post, with its ten lovely churches and beautiful villages, there are local delights, and a little sport too, Cicero and Oban being excellent retrievers.  The parishes are fine with much variety and life; this house and garden eat almost every penny and pound, but I don’t mind; and I’m no fatter than a year ago.  The age of miracles is not yet done.

May I wish you a blessed, peaceful and fun filled Christmas.  Santa Claus really was a saint and is buried at Bari in southern Italy.

Come on Rudolf!

Yours very truly,

Ian Whittle
