All the gutters around our ancient buildings tend to fill quite quickly with soil; then to acquire a rich abundance of grass and other plant life. This causes all sorts of problems. The gutters should be cleared out regularly. But that job is difficult, and usually eye-wateringly expensive!

Enter our Fr. Simon's brother-in-law, Jaroslaw Kleczek. He is a professional steeplejack by trade, running his own company, based in Poland.

He recently had a go at the gutters around our Chancel: producing an enormous pile of earth and grass in consequence!
