As Xmas slowly comes into view the elves were circling around Lucy Brown House today, a quick update:

1. The excellent people from Plan Zheroes stuffed one of the fridge-freezer full of goodies. Plenty of healthy fruit and veg. Thank you.

2. The INDESIT fridge-freezer is broken and leaks, do not use. It has been moved into the corner.

3. The dynamic duo, Bobby and Caroline, are doing some Xmas nosh in the garden day room, maybe 3pm or a little earlier on Christmas day.

4. All welcome: there will be a big Boxing day gathering in the garden day room on the 26th December 2025, thanks to Caroline’s superb catering skills. Bobby is rumoured to be the maître d’hôtel for the day.

5 The Met Office weather forecast is for rather cold weather, so please wrap up if you are venturing out.

6. There is an early service at Southwark Cathedral on the 25th December 2025, details here.

7. Also close-by is the Church of the Most Precious Blood at O’Meara Street, London, SE1 1TE. The services calendar is here and they even have a YouTube channel, where they stream many events.

Bobby Dixon writes about David Church’s funeral:

“Dear all,

Thank you for attending David Church’s funeral at Honor Oak Park, and thank you to Canon Rawson for doing the service.

David had his favourite music played, classical music of course.

Albin, the funeral service guys, really looked after him as David did not have much of a family, so he thought of his friends who were like family, so again thank you to the residents who attended the funeral

We did have a small get together back at Lucy Brown House to give David a bit of a send off, so thank you again.

Also Canon Rawson has now received David’s ashes. He has said he will take very good care of David, until 15^th January 2026.

This is when Canon Rawson will be doing a service at 3pm at Southwark Cathedral so anyone who wants to attend please do.

regards

Bobby”

The great Dave Church passed from this world on the 13th September 2025.
