...of last week was a celebration to mark the 30th anniversary of David (Lord) Alton's election to Parliament. It was a very enjoyable gathering at Westminster Cathedral Hall. David and Lizzie and their children were greeted by huge numbers of friends and there was a terrific atmosphere of good cheer and lively talk. Among those who gathered were people who had worked, or are working, with David on a range of issues - Catholic writers and journalists, Evangelical Christians working with various groups, pro-life campaigners, politicians, clergy...there were speeches, and snacks, and the cutting of a celebration cake. An evening that was a reminder of some of the good things about Britain.
This week: I'm travelling to a church near Chester to speak to a local gathering, doing a radio programme by telephone in the USA, and some admin. for the Tamezin Young Journalist Award.Next week is Holy Week - I'll be blogging during the earlier part of the week but then break off, and will be back after Easter...
