OK! Holy Monday – Let’s DO This!
With the glorious celebration of Palm Sunday over, I returned to St M’s the following day known as Holy Monday AND it wasn’t long before I heard the patter of familiar mice feet…

Ashes to Ashes!
On this first day of Lent known as Ash Wednesday, the doors to St M’s Parish Church have opened as the Rev. Suze supported by Verger Philly offer a warm welcome on a chilly and damp afternoon to some familiar faces who have chosen to wear some ‘Sorry Ashes’ on their mouse noses.
And some of those mice have chosen to hang a message of hope on the branches of our Lent Tree…
Everything IS Blooming Lovely!
As the hours tick by on St Valentine’s Day and with a visit from Missy and Millie and THOSE two felines – it’s a blooming lovely afternoon for Norma!
A Rose for St Valentine!
Today is St Valentine’s Day and everything is blooming lovely inside our Merryworth flower shop as Norma scurries among the flowers…
Love Came Down…
Away in a garden with no cover for his bed. Our sweet Angus lays down his sweet head…
Light UP for Love!
It’s the FOURTH Sunday of Advent and as St M’s choir warm up their vocal chords in the snug vestry and in anticipation of a VERY special Christmas Eve – Choir Master Roland is waiting for Mary to arrive to light our FOURTH Advent Candle.
But WHERE is Mary?
Light UP for Joy!
As Verger Philly listens to the joyful bird song in the chilly morning outside and watches as the old bare trees cast glorious shadows through the windows – she is waiting for Mary to arrive to light our THIRD Advent Candle…
Light UP for Peace!
Here in Merryworth Town and as our excited young mice open another door of their Advent Calendar – Curate Bertram waits in the cozy Chancel of St M’s Parish Church…
Light UP for Hope!
Today is Advent Sunday – the first day of Advent and here in Merryworth and as our excited young mice open the first doors of their Advent Calendar – the Rev. Suze waits outside St M’s Parish Church on this beautiful frosty morning.
Is it Time for Tee?
Put THAT kettle on!
It’s #AshTag Wednesday!

With THOSE Mice Away…
Welcome to the ministry, musings and mishaps from the parish of St M’s in the town of Merryworth and the home to a gang of unique mice, a brood of chickens AND two Little Big Cats!
Although I should add that I’m usually the one attending to most of the work including the designing, creating, researching, blogging AND the cleaning up!
Love AND Eggs Are THE Best!
Come and Eat IF You’re Hungry Enough!
As I couldn’t resist getting THOSE mice involved in this year’s Big Brekkie and with the help of the Rev. Suze – we threw open the doors of St M’s Parish Hall for a morning of laughter AND lots of yummy eggs!
Take ME to Church?
From my earliest memories I have always loved exploring our local parish churches and having worked in many of the churches and chapels in and around the historic town of Malton in North Yorkshire – the opportunity to recreate MY world in 12th scale has finally been realised!
Sugar and Spice AND All Things Nice?
The last Sunday before Advent is known as ‘Stir Up Sunday’ as it is the traditional day for making a really delicious Christmas pudding and here at St M’s and as the scent of cinnamon and spice wafts through the air of this cold November morning – there’s a flurry of activity inside the parish hall along with the sound of a busy kettle and clashing pudding pans…
That's SO Tee Bylo!
