Some folk think that it must be scary living in our parish, with its deprivation, drug dealers and people like Gone. Last week I found some great quotes on what we should really be afraid of, selected by étrangère from Tim Chester’s recent book ‘The Ordinary Hero‘. I’ve been thinking I should buy it to read this holiday, but slightly fearing to aswell.
What scares you?

Thanks for the pointer, looks like a very worthwhile investment of time…definitely good holiday reading you don’t want to get too comfortable!
It’s odd isn’t it. My husband and I have always imagined living in a lovely rural parish but having experienced an UPA area we love it. People appreciate you so much more I think. We definately feel that a busy town / city should be where we move on next!
I will admit to a certain nervousness about parking my car in your street. 😉
Welcome to the Vicarage nathan the alien and thanks for commmenting. Thanks to Emma and Ros too. How long till you move Emma? We have two neighbouring parishes in interregunums!
Oh we’re only in second year of curacy so its going to be another year and a half I recon. Havent got a clue where we will go though!
