The interval between interested schoolgirl and "older reader" seems to have passed speedily!

Good thinking spot in Wharfedale yesterday

As I contemplate a sermon about prayer, I'm reminded of Mother Mary Clare, Reverend Mother of the Sisters of the Love of God in Oxford

She advised that the nuns were struggling to find words to pray, they could simply say

'Here I am God, what a mess'

I've used that advice a lot over the years

A reflection about the best being yet to come entitled, keep your fork

Today we remembered the life of Mandy, my PA, who died suddenly recently. Full of faith Mandy was a beloved pastor to the archdeaconry. Please hold her husband, son & all of us who mourn in prayer.

Some years ago Mandy chose this reading to be read at her funeral with each mourner getting a fork!

It was a gigantic honour to unveil the new English Heritage Blue Plaque on the Pimlico home of one my absolute favourite novelists, Barbara Pym. She lived there just after World War Two. Thanks so much to the @BarbaraPymSociety for these 📷 and for a wonderful tea! I'll treasure my memories.

Good luck with that then - see you on the other side! 😂

Good to have you back!

You were prayed for in Cathedral this morning🙏
