Florence

 Florence Wright died peacefully this morning aged 94 surrounded by her family. To St Hugh Bermondsey for SPIDIR AGM. Cherie came - she was in my class 9 years ago! Disppointed that the sub was doubled when they have money in the bank. Membership has dropped. Chris Chapman was excellent and I bought his new book but the church was hot and I dropped off! CMF zoom about survey in religious colleges n interfaith. Had a sleep and did not go to FTIC meeting. Enjoyed the rest of Emma. 

Tuesday swim. Winter quilt to laundrette. Quiet time and discussed acedia. To FCJ Euston 1 hour 40 minutes on buses! Lorna Gold and everyone very friendly. A very interesting evening. Some of the figures are quite shocking. Banks are spending more on fossil fuels! Faith Leadership for Our Common Home: Laudato Si' and the Global Movement for Fossil Free Finance.

Speakers include Sr Susan Francois CSJP (Sisters of St Joseph of Peace), Lorna Gold (Laudato Si' Movement) and others from JustMoney Movement, Operation Noah, FaithInvest and Stand.Earth. Home at 11.15. Hot in the night.
Wed swim early and to Bromley Methodist to meet Ann Fox. Carpet so no echo at all! Sion dropped off speaker from Canada. To school to see Henry's art work on Victoria Falls. Green party migraton group. The real Jane Austen and Northanger Abbey with Robert Hardy.

Gibraltar

18.9.17 From Seville to Gibraltar. Quicker to walk over border waving passport. Small buses drove across aiprot runway. Europe point with view to Africa. St Michael's cave and macaques. Crowded Main Street from cruise liners. RC and Anglican cathedrals and the excellent Gibraltar museum. Ice cream. People were disappointed. To Torremelinos and big hotel balcony and beach view. Went to excellent restaurant on beach and had anchovies, prawn and avocado salad and swordfish. Much cheaper than the tour extra outing which would have cost 110E.

Easter Day

 To All  Saints Shirley arrived 9am got in at 9.30 a.m. Went OK and got a clap. Peruvian Gloria is normally unaccompanied in verse 2 Yvonne went up a tone or half a tone so I stopped trying to accompany. I'm not that clever!  Sadly this church will become a chapel of ease. I played Mascagni Easter hymn, Bach Christ lag, Alan Gray Easter hymn and Hallelujah chorus at the end. The organ is a 2 manual Bishop. This was also Revd Yvonne Clarke’s last service there. How disappointing that only 2 hymns were sung from St George’s cathedral on Songs of Praise and Praise to the holiest is NOT an Easter hymn! The Serbian choir were terrific! Very impressed by St Mary Redcliffe great singing especially the Neil Cox setting and the Jonathan Dove. Joe Cryan and Clare Alsop were not mentioned in the credits and should have been! Unimpressed by Canterbury cathedral radio broadcast. Lovely evensong at SJ Stanford in C and Te Deum in B flat. Ledger This joyful Eastertide. Antiques roadshow...
