With further relaxation of the lockdown rules some of you will now find that you have become part of a bubble! A new experience for many, but a welcome change, I hope. Gradually, we are allowed to venture out more and children can look forward to returning to school in September. Church life continues with many opportunities to join in a virtual way.
