Glass

The photo is of me in Wales dressed for dinner.

A friend in York has worked for the same organisation for 40 years as a glazier. He was due to retire next year when he reached 65. On return from his holiday this summer he received a letter from his employer. He has been made redundant with 2 months notice. An incredibly cruel and stupid action.

And who might his employer be? A multinational behemoth? A local company ignoring worker loyalty? No, the Church of England, he worked at York Minster.
