St Benets Abbey Service

[Vaughan]

Couple of nice photos in the EDP today of "The abbot of St Benet's arriving at the abbey site on the bough of a traditional Norfolk wherry".

Which bit of a wherry is that, Marshman?

Someplace forrard of that sticky thing holding up a the white flappy wwhatnot??

[Vaughan]

About time you took that "journalist" for a sail, isn't it?

[JennyMorgan]

Don't all the best traditional wherries, Norfolk & Suffolk ones alike, have black flappy wwatnots?

So it was Ardea, she does have a white wwhatnot.

From Parisian prostitutes to the Bishop of Norwich, if nothing else the old girl has an inclusive guest list!

[Vaughan]

If Tim and Pru had been aboard on this trip, one might wonder what the actress said to the bishop?

I have no Ardea Vaughan.  :)

What a great way to travel! I think all bishops should make all journeys by wherry! Even on the roads

I had to smile, the Church has commented on the service and also referred to Ardea's past, neatly side stepping her time when she was based in France where, apparently, she only ever displayed a port hand light
