Of course, it's all very well Drayton moaning and repenting about his heresies. It's not like I didn't have problems of my own yesterday.
The La Tene Folk of Tebworth had invited me to lead their All Age Worship. And, as is customary with our traditions, I'd picked the hymns and readings.
But when I got there I discovered that "All Age" was a synonym for "All Ages from 60 to 90". But, nothing daunted, I stuck with my script. If All Age is what they want, All Age is what they get.
Be fair to them. Some of them were sufficiently free from arthritis to do the actions to "If I were a butterfuly". Although there was a strong scent of liniment later on during coffee time. And they all enjoyed joining in with a congregational reading of "We're going on a bear hunt". But we had some problems when I let off those party poppers. They though the Blitz had re-started.
I thought 'all ages' actually means '0-9 years, everyone else leave your intellect at home, just have fun', sort of thing. Ah well. My mistake.
