Prayers are still needed for Carole Winch as she recovers from a stroke.

Joe Ryan continues to make progress on his road to recovery - please do continue to remember him, Jeannette and their extended family.

Thank you.....

..... for all the hard work you have put into the preparations for Christmas again this year.

When the big day finally arrives I hope it is restful, peaceful and as happy as it can be for you and those closest to you. I'll look forward to raising a glass to you on 3 January!
