...but in its way rather wonderful, week. With a small team of loyal friends - including one who came to London specially and stayed in a b-and-b specifically to help with this project - I've spent all day, every day, into the evening, wrapping and packing and posting books to young people across Britain who gained prizes in the annual Schools Bible Project. Father Peter at the excellent parish here, allowed us to use the large St John Paul Room in the beautiful Parish Centre, and we made ourselves at home, arriving in time for Mass each morning (very well attended, with a substantial congregation) and working with wrapping paper and jiffy-bags and cardboard boxes and sticky tape, with relays of us trundling a suitcase-on-wheels down to the Post Office in the High Street laden with parcels...
We brewed tea and coffee and made lunch in the well-equipped kitchen, talked and laughed and worked hard...it has been a happy week.
