Coincidently, around 80 people from the village and dale gathered in the Coach House In on Friday 19 January 2024 to celebrate Ian ‘Brownie’ Brown’s 80th birthday. It was a well kept surprise and Brownie took a few minutes to recover after his arrival!
Thanks to Dave Oakey and his team in the Coach House Inn for their splendid hosting of the event and to Jan Baker for her coordination of all the details.
Our local curate, David Haddon-Reece, was ordained by Paul, Bishop of Whitby, at St Mary’s Church, Lastingham on Sunday 7 December at 3.00pm. The church was packed as the congregation drawn from all five churches in the benefice witnessed the joyous culmination of a long spiritual journey for David.
All in the benefice and particularly those in Rosedale wish David all the very best for his ministry with us.
Around 40 locals and visitors joined in singing carols, encouraged by mulled cider and mince pies, on Friday. As a result over £270 was raised for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, for which heartfelt thanks to all for your generosity.
Also our thanks to Graig and Helen at Abbey Stores for their help with setting up the event and to James at Graze on The Green for his ever excellent mince pies!
And finally, best wishes for a Happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year to all our readers, here and abroad.
