There were six of us for the midweek Eucharist this morning. Afterwards, Clare and I drove by car to La Cala de Mijas to have lunch with Peter and Linda Hammond. It was great to see Linda looking so much better, having had her hip replacement repair operation and made a good recovery. Now she is waiting for a knee replacement operation, having taken a very long time to persuade specialists to assess a need she had before her hip started giving trouble. This didn't hinder her from giving us an excellent lunch out on their sun terrace overlooking a pine forest alive with bird song.
Costa del Sol East, where I spent eight months on locum duty over a two year period four years ago is again without a priest, and the search for another is about to start all over again. This time Linda isn't a church warden, and needs to watch while newcomers to the role get to grips with the complex task of running church affairs without a priest. Having that knee repair done must take precedent for her. I wonder if I'll be called upon to serve as locum pastor this time around? The answer has to be wait and see. Between Montreux and Malaga I'm away from Cardiff already for half of this year.
