Rogation Day
SUNDAY 13 MAY was Rogation Sunday, which is traditionally associated with asking God for his blessing on the land, and the old practice of "beating the bounds"of the parish. In the Anglesey Benefice, Family Services are held at farms, and Swaffham Prior's service at the Adventurer's Farm, hosted by James and Janet Willmott, followed by the now traditional and extremely delicious lunch.
The weather sent us indoors and we shared the stables with the horses for the service - they really appreciated the hymns! Janet provided a wonderful selection of hot main courses followed by exotic fruit platters for dessert, and although a primarily a social event rather than a fundraiser, £160 was raised for church funds. We are grateful to the Willmott family for their hospitality and to Janet for the wonderful food.
