Having retired from working for an Educational Publishing Co and also from fostering, I had some time on my hands, so… I became an Authorised Lay Minister (ALM) with a leaning towards wanting to do something which involved babies and children. Baptisms, Singing4Tots, Tots and Toast, Messy Church, all became part of my diary each week. I’ve also become a Nana for the third time and 2 days a week I have the pleasure of looking after Jacob.
