Doing good works in his aunt’ s garden one day, Alan Smith, the Bishop of St Albans noticed a woman
taking a keen interest.
“Excuse me,” she said eventually, “but I’m looking for a gardener.”
He explained it wasn’t his full time job but she persisted.
“I’m the bishop of St.Albans,” he revealed at last.
“Huh, well,” she replied, “I’m the Queen of Sheba”

Re-cycling for charity (sorry!)
Christine Morton collects the coloured plastic milk bottle lids that you get on polythene milk bottles from shops. They are used to raise money for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. Please will you save any you get and either leave them (labelled!) in Boffees or give them to Christine herself.
And a reminder that Doreen Gatesman continues to collect aluminium cans, foil and milktops for a charity in Aylesbury which employs people with learning difficulties to refurbish tools for overseas. The money is used to help fund this work
