I swooned when he said to a complete stranger in the airport "allo luv" - exactly the greeting he gave my mother-in-law, wife and daughter when we accidently met in Polzeath last August.
David Easton is seen preparing for his departure and being positive. The new Minister looks as if he is up to the challenge and clearly sees God's hand in the new stationing. Let's pray it works out.
Can you imagine Steve Wild as President? Just what Her Majesty will make of the traditional loyal greetings from Methodist Conference when it begins "allo luv"!

Being a bit flippant - are there any young people in the Methodist Church on the Isles or Cornwall for that matter. I enjoy the blog by the way !
That is a very relevant point.
British Methodism has got the message and I am glad to say that there are signs that we understand that we need to tell young people about the Gospel.
The Polzeath project is one of those initiatives where we welcome surfers into a beachside methodist Church.
Steve is a delight. Having met him a few times through Cliff College, I can say that what you see is what you get - warmth, genuine care, and a lot of fun and compassion. It's lovely to see him on TV, and doing such a grand job with the silly Scilly situation.
I have been speculating over what will happen next. When Father Guy went there, he had a hard time settling, and clearly distanced himself from the cameras - enter David, as the new star. Then it all went belly-up for David, to Methodism's (deserved) embarrassment, and a new Methodist has arrived. I wonder just how much pressure he has faced to tell the BBC to keep their distance? It will be interesting to see where the series goes next, and see whatever they've been filming since last summer.
