[[:Category:David Wilbourne|David Wilbourne's]] CV looks like a career path for people who are hard-of-humoured. Banker, teacher of Ancient Greek, vicar, bishop…none of these are jobs normally connected in our minds with a jovial twinkle. Yet in David's case we'd be totally wrong to assume. The current Bishop of Llandaff takes us by the hand to show us episodes from his life as vicar of the character-packed Yorkshire parish of Helmsley proving that tears of sorrow are equally shared with tears of laughter.
(We'd like to thank Sidgwick & Jackson for providing us with a copy for review.)
Further Reading: If this appeals and you'd like to read more about the inside of the Church of England, from the learner clergy's angle this time, we also recommend [[Becoming Reverend: A diary by Matt Woodcock]]. If, at the very mention of James Herriot, you fancy something more akin to the original country vet, then it's [[Call the Vet: Farmers, Dramas and Disasters - My First Year as a Country Vet by Anna Birch]]. We also have [[Call Me Red: A Shepherd's Journey by Hannah Jackson|a different type of shepherd]].
