My bloke who "does" is also in holy orders (a Deacon) and is entitled to wear a dog collar! He will be made a full vicar next June, all being well, and will still continue to do his "day job"!

Actually, he's 51, married with 3 kids, smokes cheroots, and normally struts his stuff in a pair of combat style shorts and a T shirt. He also drives an old Jeep Cherokee. I have known him for years and years as he also ministers in our parish.

Now I am awaiting the tarts and vicars remarks - after all, he did refit my bedroom last year...

Seriously, it's nice to have somebody I can trust with my house key, and who I am happy to have come and do work while I am away. He also knows how to get his own cups of tea!
