Tonight Norman and I were delighted to be invited to the Institution of the new Vicar of Earley the Rev’d Kate Wakeman-Toogood.
It was lovely to meet her and her family. Excellent organisation by many people in the background and a very uplifting service with the Bishop of Reading.
The reception afterwards had a huge spread of food and a magnificent cake. Here she is getting to grips with the cake!
The Church was packed with parishoners, friends from her previous roles in Sonning and many supporting clergy from the area. Also there to show her support was former Prime Minister Theresa May and her husband Philip.
We all wish Rev'd Kate every success and good fortune.
