On Sunday 27th July we said a sad goodbye to Andrea, Tyler and Thomas. After two years as part of the St George’s family they are returning home to the Turks and Caicos. Fr Charles gave them a blessing and we put on wine and cake in the Hall after the service. Thanks to everyone who donated we bought an acrylic picture of the Spinnaker Tower and Harbour and a book of the History of Waterlooville to remind them of their time here. We also presented them with a photo book of events and people during their two years along with a voucher for The Exchange for them to enjoy a meal before they leave and a bunch of flowers. Andrea and children have been here for an extra year as Garvin had to return home to work. They have been a big part of life at St George’s joining in and helping at events, Andrea came to Walsingham with us in 2024, Tyler was confirmed at St George’s by the Bishop and Andrea took a big role in the organisation of The Dragons. They have extended an invite to anyone who would like to visit and are planning a holiday over here next year when they will visit St George’s.
