Saturday the 8th of October 2011

We are getting acquainted in Aston Eyre. We have now found our way to the supermarket, the church, school, the library and so on. We feel comfortable to know our way around a bit.

The harvest feast have given us a splendid opportunity to get to know our neighbours in our little hamlet. At the end of September the Harvest Evensong in the ancient Anglican church opposite our house gave us a first taster of village life. About 30 people attended and afterward we shook hands with the vicar and some of our new neighbours.

Yesterday we joined in at the social event of Harvest Supper, communal with Morville. The supper was followed by a ‘Ceilidh’. This means, as we now know, having fun together on the dancefloor. We had a very good time.

Later this month there will be a special harvest service in the Baptist church in Bridgnorth. This is the church we visit on Sundays. We are getting to know more and more people in this church and the children are making friends.
