GREETINGS FRIENDS. HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW GLORIOUS THE HEDGEROWS ARE? Suddenly the warm sun has brought forth all the blackthorn blossom. Some parts are white like snow, and the gorse is out brightly yellow’ and there are carpets of wood anemones and wild flowers in the woodland. What a beautiful time of year. Of course, gardeners are saying that we need rain !!!! Do you agree with Robert Browning -- Oh to be in England, now that April’s here.
ICKLESHAM CHURCH will have a service at 9.30 am this Sunday, Palm Sunday. Then there will be a 9.30am service on Easter Sunday, but no service on 27th April, so the pattern is a little different. And there will be a special service of Meditation and Music on Good Friday from 2pm, lasting until about 3.30pm. All these will be led by Revd. David Page.
PRODUCE MARKET will be open to serve you delicious goodies from 10am. Come and see what there is.
