Grass-cutter in chief

JO DAVIES never has been a conventional clergy wife, says her husband, the
Dean of Brecon, the Very Revd John Davies (left in picture). She is a
senior staff nurse in the intensive-care unit at the University Hospital of
Wales in Cardiff, and so has a very demanding life of her own. But she has
always enjoyed mowing grass, ever since she was a child, the Dean tells me. And
so her contribution to the life of the cathedral that serves the diocese of
Swansea & Brecon is regularly to cut the two acres of
grass which surround it. She says she finds it very relaxing after the
intensity of her hospital life, and the people of Brecon say they have never
seen the cathedral grounds so well kept.
