This morning we enjoyed the hospitality of the good people of Our Lady of Ransom parish Church at Eastbourne for Mass. We'll be there again tomorrow morning (about 10.30am). Here is a picture of the beautiful Lady altar which I took on my last visit:

The "Cliffs" are beautiful, Father.
As well as the "Lady Altar".
Enjoy your time away!
