| The Wet Fish Display |
Today Judy and I attended the Fish Harvest Festival Service
at St Mary – at – Hill. The glittering
array of fish all beautifully arranged in the Church’s entrance lobby was a
wonderful sight. There was one market stall bedecked with all sorts of
shellfish – crabs, prawns , oysters, crayfish and much more besides. The
centrepiece stall was a sloping cornucopia of wet fish, glistening with
freshness.
After an Introit anthem sung by the Choir , we processed in
, and a sea themed service followed, closing with “For Those in Peril on the
Sea “ followed by The National Anthem, all sung in rousing fashion.
The Service was also significant as it marked the last
Service to be taken by Rose Hudson-Wilkin before she takes up her role as
Bishop of Dover. After the Service, speeches of thanks were made to Rose for
all her brilliant work at St Mary –at – Hill, and gifts were given. This was
followed by drinks and a most enjoyable lunch of Caribbean cooking.
