Today's sermon was based on the Gospel reading for this second Sunday in Lent (Luke 13.31-35): in it Jesus refers to Herod as a fox and likens himself to a mother hen gathering her chicks under her wings.
The sermon was fine, but in it Ian, who claims that with 3 hens in the vicarage garden he is the second biggest poultry farmer in the street, used the phrase "If a chicken had teeth and a brain . . ." For some reason this image got to both Joe and me and, glancing at each other, we almost had an unseemly fit of the giggles in church. Afterwards it inspired me to create this picture . . .
But at least it proves I was listening, and I do take notice.
