I have amended my previous posts, in which I suggested that my paternal grandfather may have been married before he married my grandmother. It now seems this was a false alarm generated by the site which I use to research my family tree: I sent off for the marriage certificate and was told that while my grandfather did get married at that time, it was not to the woman in question. In which case, I guess, it was probably to my grandmother. I will be having a closer look at what went wrong and will report back! Excitement over.

The weekend went quiet yesterday after a joint service at St Luke’s to mark Nicholas’ ten years as our vicar. Dot and I played in the joint music group, which went well after a jittery start, and I did the prayers. Nice occasion.
