Dear friends,
 
Well I'm finally back in the strange world of cyberspace. This is just a short message so that you will have my new email nickthevicparker@btinternet.com
and to let you know that Helen and I are both fine and enjoying settling in to our new home and a new place. The two church communities have both been very welcoming and are keeping me busy (I'd forgotten what it is like to deal with funerals, baptisms and weddings for a whole community - mostly non-church). Helen has already made links with the local church primary school doing supply teaching and it looks like something more permanent might be on the horizon from October next year.
 
Before reaching England we had a fantastic time travelling across the United States - I hope to put some photos and text together for the September Bellringer. It was wonderful to have Jim and Marilyn Murdock here for the licensing - I'm sure they will have shared news of their trip and the people they met here in Coleshill.
Thank you to those who have already sent emails - we really miss you all!
 
Yours faithfully, Nick+
