Fr Briggs and I were undecided on the plan for today. If it had been raining, we would have returned early to London and lunched before taking suburban trains home. Thanks be to God, today was an absolutely glorious day so we took a couple of long walks along the seafront and had a sandwich at the hotel before taking an early afternoon train back to London. I realised this morning how much I had needed a couple of days' rest and was grateful to Our Lord for His providence, and my parishioners for their generosity which enables me to get away from time to time.Last night's dinner was a great success with Frs John Zuhlsdorf, Ray Blake, and Stephen Boyle bringing great insights and experience to the conversation.

The above photo is from Westminster Cathedral which was a staging-point for our trip. It shows a mosaic of John Henry Newman that was installed last September.

Last night's dinner must have been absolutely brilliant. Four such wonderful and Holy priests.
What did you all eat? I guess there were no vegetarians among you?
Happy Feast day Father; Sancta Maria Magdalena, ora pro nobis.
Many thanks, Elizabeth. It was a very enjoyable gathering. I think most of us had the lamb - there were no vegetarians!
You know of course that the word 'vegetarian' is an old American Indian term for 'lousy hunter'!
;-)
I don't think much of the mosaic.
That mosaic is truly dreadful...
The mosaic is ghastly... totally at odds with all the other mosaics in the Cathedral. What a shame...
