The organist librarian

Mass at St Andrew Thornton Heath and met the new parish priest chatted about Catenians (there are none in the parish) and Signposts. He quite rightly pointed out that both are gender specific which no longer washes. To art and finished 2 paintings for the charity auction. Festival of music and liturgy at St Matthew Westminster launched by Canon Jeremy Davies' inspiring lecture on priesthood. I have the notes let me know if interested. All priests should read this! Lovely singing by the Westminster cathedral Boys at vespers at St Matthew Westminster Martin Baker directing. Simon Earl from Christchurch priory played an interesting recital at St John's including Bairstow, Howells, JSB, Widor, Bedard, Saint-Saens and Dupre. I met Baroness Williams and the organiser of Thy Kingdom come for the Archbishop of Canterbury on the 507 bus!

Mass and Lauds combined before breakfast. Rain again! Next September it is to be Ampleforth. Returned home from Salisbury via Winchester with a tea stop at Guildford cathedral. 195 miles round trip! We had a most interesting tour of Salisbury cathedral including Magna Carta in the wonderful chapter house and Canon Jeremy Davies joined us and showed us the lovely vestments. We made our little pilgrimage to George Herbert's church St Andrew Bemerton.
