Retirement to Old Dalby

After 6 yrs Inner City ministry, medical advice was EJL should 'retire' (at 60). Birth of 1st grandchild was on day of retirement (a sign for future?). Old Dalby: a small village north of Leicester, nr Melton Mowbray.
Eric continued taking services in Anglican & Methodist churches and made trips abroad.
