The Flowers of the Forest

 I'd like to apologise for the typo in the most recent issue of "Beaker Bugle - the Newsletter for the Beaker Community".


We thought it would be fun to hold a "Forest Church". We have no idea of the specifics - is the headquarters Whipsnade Tree Cathedral? And we were worried it would be a bit muddy in November. But don't we get out into the Orchard for worship at all times of the year? We thought we'd be naturals.

Then "Forest Church" got autocorrected to "Florist Church". Now the Moot House is full of helium balloons, gender reveal parties, "In Loving Memory" wreaths and waving beds of gysophila.

Not what we had in mind.

But at least we're staying warm.

Now, if you'll excuse me. I've got to get a surprise bunch of flowers across to an unsuspecting young man in Heath and Reach. These new expressions of church are nothing if not educational.

  1. Just make sure you keep the Franciscans and Dominicans out - only you can prevent florist friars.
