Connections

It was a wild, wild windy day in Mytholmroyd and the local vicar was trying hard to juggle life as the vice chair of an international poetry festival, children's storyteller and oh yes, vicar.
He finds himself as usual fighting to make connections, that will somehow make it easier to squeeze it in.
A story with the under fives about the disciples fear in a storm in a boat...
a woman's grief at the loss of a much loved Aunty, who cheerfully weathered the storms of life in her slightly eccentric jaunty black beret.
An eccentric journey to Blackshaw Head the winding alpine slope like some mad bobsleigh ride, with one difference, cars coming the other way!
A concert and the story of Ted Hughes told by one who knew him and one who knew of him and running against them a beautiful choir in a lovely counterpoint.
The vicar thinks of the lady at the beginning of the day and trys to make the link... he smiles as he recalls the final connection, the lady who died was a relative of Ted.
