Dear Donald,
I am enjoying your Blog updates, thank you! Fr. Aelred delivers a good homily indeed... "second chance".

Goodness, Fr. Nivard and yourself do look cold in that photo, and I can see the snow still lying. Whit Castle is very bleak!


The turret staircase (I wonder if your room was in the old tower?) recalls for me my silent tread as I rose for Vigils and tiptoed down to the hall, before setting out into the darkness for the Night Office.

Snowdrops - the spirit of Lent, white, pure, strong - a lovely corner to greet one on the drive!

I hope you have recovered from the 'flu germ, and that the Community are all now well.

What a long winter you are experiencing.

William

Thank you, William.
It seems that Spring is round the corner.
