From January through to December is the civilian working period for the ordinary person; alongside that span of time lies from Epiphany through to Christmas in ecclesiastical terms. Many people outside the church community have asked themselves (concerning the vicar) 'I wonder what on earth he does during the week? After all, he only works on a Sunday!'

A relatively small selection of weekday events (in no particular order) are to be found in this little book; it is the result of life’s happenings in a rural vicar’s experience which fulfil most of the emotions that one lives through during one’s lifetime.
