A wide variety of pets accompanied by their well behaved owners attended the Annual Animal Service at St Andrew’s, Aldringham on Sunday 13th August. 11 Dogs, 3 cats, 2 sheep, 2 donkeys, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 African land snails and not forgetting 3 teddy bears, were joined by a congregation of 40 owners and friends at the outdoor service conducted by Reverend Sarah in the churchyard on a warm afternoon. The service included the New Zealand version of the Lord’s Prayer with Māori influences referencing Mother Nature who responded during the service with an overhead fly past of dragonflies, swallows and high flying swifts.
Our wonderful team of very talented flower arrangers including Rita, Sue, Sarah and Mary designed and produced some superb displays and decorated St Andrew's in a very patriotic red, white and blue theme for the King's Coronation weekend. As if not to be outdone Mother Nature ensured the churchyard was also looking resplendent with perhaps the best carpet of spring flowers that has ever been seen, including buttercups, daisies, meadow saxifrage and bluebells.To see photographs of the flower displays and churchyard please click on the 'DOWNLOAD' button on the right.
