the church of ant

Although I'm just about the only person who hasn't yet been to visit, my friends are all feeling green-fingered and organic at the moment, having helped Ant sort out his new allotment in recent weeks. Having started as just a patch of scrubby grass, it's fast becoming a veritable garden of Eden, only in Portslade.

The latest addition, as the photograph below shows, is a shed, although it has been swiftly converted, no doubt to Ant's fellow allotment-keepers' alarm, into a church. Ant is below, warding off evil.The church needs some work, obviously - we were discussing stained glass windows in the pub last night, and Ant needs to appoint people to their various positions. I was hankering after the job of second organist, so was surprised when Ant offered me an Arch-Deaconship. Although I will almost certainly take it, I am officially weighing up other offers, just in case he improves the offer and lets me do the flower-arranging, too.

Please can I be the annoying women who warbles loudly throughout all of the singing, in a shrill, ear piercing way. Is the church big enough for pews, an organ, a rev and all the other churchy things, or is it, as I suspect, an imposter, full of compost and gardening tools?

Can't wait for Ant's first harvest festival!

Do you have a second organ, J? :-)

Actually I haven't seen the shed either, but it must only be a matter of time.
