The Venerable Carol Coslett, the outgoing Archdeacon of Derby Peak and Dales, writes:

To all my diocesan friends,

Thankyou so much for your generosity and lovely gifts as I prepare to leave Derbyshire.

The people and places I have got to know and love in my time with you all will remain close to my heart as I travel south.

I have made some very special friendships and enjoyed many a conversation.

I take with me a little bit of the land in the Blue John Stone earnings which I shall treasure, and having got to know this wonderful part of the country I am sure Martin and I will be visiting from time to time to get away from the smoke and take in the fresh air of this wonderful landscape.

My prayers and blessings for you all, and Martin joins with me in saying Thank you God Bless.

Carol

Carol's Farewell Service was held at St John the Baptist, Buxton.
