Westminster Abbey
Saturday to Battersea Park library to pick up a reserved book and renew all items. To St Margaret's Westminster for annual day of prayer. The Dean read the talks on Transfiguration by the late Bishop Kenneth Stevenson featuring 4 paintings. Inspiring! It was great to be able to visit the Abbey and the shrine. St Faith's chapel is quiet. It was cold. Fr Michael Durand, Sally, Beryl there. Had coffee and soup. At 3 p.m. to Hinsley room for talk by Fr Richard Nesbit about vocations. Fr Alexander at Mass and Ardingley college choir sang Haydn and Bruckner rather well. Sunday we celebrated Candlemas at Coulsdon. Dennis stayed over night and left his bag containing his stethoscope so I took it up to Queen's square and then to Glyn Close for tidyup. At evensong we sang Stanford in B flat and "I was glad". Lark rise and Terry Wogan on TV.
