INSIDE CORNER

I’ve found the heat and humidity almost overpowering at times this summer. But just popping into the Church where the temperature’s at least 15° lower can be a blessed relief. Quiet and peaceful it’s the coolest place to be, in more senses than one. Don’t take my word for it, try it yourself some time.

Talking about St Peter’s, do come to the Wellesbourne and Walton News “Coffee morning & more” in the Church on 10th September from 9.30am to 11.30am including sales of home and garden produce. The team is inviting you all to come along and have a chat – we’d love to see you and welcome any ideas or comment. And the home made biscuits are usually pretty good as well.
