We will not be able to walk through the town on Palm Sunday this year so we will do things differently.

migrants, strangers, poverty, vulnerability and all the social and family problems that can lead to homelessness. We learnt about the ways in which Alabaré provides accommodation when it is needed and also the support and help that gets people back on the right track in their lives. Our eyes were opened both to the problems (in particular to the needs of young people and armed forces veterans) and to the provision of a home and the help given to gain new skills, confidence and the opportunities to live a fulfilled life. Lives are being transformed through the work of this charity. It operates mainly in the south and west of England and Wales. The base for Alabaré is in Salisbury.

St Francis loved all aspects of God’s creation so visibly to be experienced at Kingston Lacy in the wonderful beauty and scale of the snowdrops there at present.

Obituaries Eileen Wellstead Eileen Cecilia Wellstead lived all her life in Wimborne; born in Osborne Road, she went to St John’s School and Parkstone Grammar School. She then worked as a telephonist in Ferndown and Bournemouth, and used to tell how she would cycle to work during the wartime blackout. Her family was musical, an aunt owning an instrument shop in West Street, and her father Cecil was an organist at St John’s Church, and elsewhere.

Jenny Coates

After her father’s death in 1966, Eileen travelled with her mother to Switzerland and to King’s College Cambridge for the Nine Lessons and Carols service. She was deeply devoted to the Minster, and loved organ and choral music; she was very supportive of the Minster’s organists, and a regular member of the Evensong congregation as well as attending the Eucharist faithfully. Her favourite composers for the organ were Bach, Vierne and Widor; she also liked Stanford’s organ and choral music. One of her

last trips abroad with a friend in 2004 was to Paris, when she visited some of the churches that are home to famous French Romantic organs. Eileen gradually became housebound, but neighbours and Minster friends supported her with company and shopping, and she also remained in touch with a friend from First School days, a friendship that lasted 90 years. She moved to a Ferndown nursing home 3 years ago. Eileen is to be buried in Wimborne Cemetery, near her parents.

Born in Derbyshire and trained as a book-keeper and accountant, Jenny married Ken in 1958; the family moved around the country, arriving in Wimborne in 1978 when Ken became MD of Flight Refuelling. Jenny was deeply involved in the community, volunteering for Cards for Good Causes for almost 25 years, as well as for Dial-a- Ride and Dreamboats; she was an avid and expert gardener, opening her garden at ‘Lewens’ for

charity, especially for Wimborne in Bloom. She ran two businesses in the town, and was a very active member of the Minster for many years. Ken died in 1998. When Jenny moved from ‘Lewens’, the family home, she also returned to her Methodist roots, becoming active in Holtwood Methodist Church. She was a generous, kind and caring person who offered so much to others and will be sadly missed.
