We can see the church spire through the trees from our upstairs windows and hear the bells ringing on Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good Friday 28th March 1975 &#8211; On a chilly morning we left our home in Derbyshire to begin a new stage of our lives in Pattingham. All our belongings were loaded onto the removal van (including the boys\u2019 outdoor shoes) and they set off for Pattingham. Our 2 boys and the budgie were loaded into our car and we then set off. As we travelled south the weather changed and it began to snow \u2013 fortunately we reached Pattingham before the weather set in \u2013 only to find that the removal van had not yet arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We eventually got a message that they had broken down, but a relief van would bring some of the basics so that we at least had beds etc. to sleep on that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James went round to the shops and Mr &amp; Mrs Jophe at the delicatessen (now the Co-op) generously put together a basket of essentials to tide us over for the Easter weekend, the lady and her daughter who ran the hardware shop kindly lent us china, cutlery, a kettle and teapot etc. so we could have hot drinks etc until the rest of our belongings arrived. The boys thought this was great \u2013 having a picnic \u2013 in an empty house!<br><br>Easter Saturday 29th March 1975 &#8211; The very first visitor to knock on our door was Reverend Christopher Walters, who welcomed us to the village, and so began a long, continuous and very happy association with St. Chad\u2019s church. Both our boys sang in the choir and the organist, John Hayward, taught them the piano for a while. Both our granddaughters were christened here by Reverend Maureen Hobbs.<br><br>Easter Sunday 30th March 1975 to Easter Sunday 9th April 2023 &#8211; We planned to go to church on our first Easter Sunday in Pattingham &#8211; and we were able to do so. As we will be attending church on Easter Day, 9 April 2023, we thank God for our good fortune to be living in a lovely part of the country, in a village where folks are friendly, smile as they pass or stop for a chat. Most important of all, the church is in the centre of our village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Happy Easter from the Gosling Family<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James and Elizabeth Gosling<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"would-you-like-to-write-a-view-from-the-pews\">Would you like to write a View from the Pews?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We welcome contributions for View from the Pews from anyone who would like to write one, It does not need to be on any particular subject.
