The curious incident of the painted cows


For some reason local p**s artists painted local cows! Their work shows a distinct lack of imagination using only white paint (will it be magnolia next time?) and showing nothing of the flair of Banksy’s work. An advertising slogan could be "Milk is good for you" - but then, on the other flank (as suggested by friend Ceri) - "but Guinness is better".

Grenville's Life of Serving


Grenville Phillips is 80 this August and he has decided it's time to call it a day as a server at St Andrew's.
Grenville began "serving" at the tender age of 11 - in 1939 - at St Werburgh's Church, Derby. He was also server at St peter's Chellaston in Derby Diocese from 1958, and became server at St Andrew's when he, Shirley and the family moved to Tarvin in 1971.
Besides being altar serveer, Grenville has helped with the hospitality at St Andrew's ensuring that everything is ready for the Sunday celebration.
Well done Grenville.
