27 staples removed! 21 from the top wound and 6 from the lower. I’m hoping it’s not too naive to think some movements will be easier now.

It’s been great travelling with our 8 Confirmation candidates. We have one more session before the service on Weds 26 Nov at 7pm but I hope our excellent conversations continue for a long time after that!
