MY first introduction to the Diocese of Hereford was a caption competition in the Church Times. The photograph was taken at the May Fair. Every year there is a compulsory picture of the bishop and cathedral dean on the big wheel. In the picture, I saw the Rt Rev Richard Frith, my predecessor, and the former Dean of Hereford, the Very Rev Michael Tavinor sitting in a carriage on the big wheel – both looked rather ‘green’. I was highly amused by the caption: “Mick and Rick being sick!” Sadly, once again there will be no May fair, at least not in May this year. We are going to have a stab at holding it in August, when hopefully most people will have received their vaccinations and normal service can (hopefully) resume.
