To Aberystwyth...

...to speak to the Cathsoc...topic: "St John Paul, Catholic youth, and the future".  A lively, friendly bunch who gave me a warm welcome.  Lots of good talk: immensely stimulating and enjoyable.  An overnight stay and a glorious morning walk in the blustery wind along the seafront, with the hills sweeping up ahead, and the bright town with its sense of glow against the fierce elements...

The train line connects to Birmingham, which was ideal for me as my next visit was to Maryvale.  I spent many happy years studying here, and it was good to be back, The Brigettine sisters were at prayer and I went to join them, and then after supper there was time for good talk and catching up...

The ghastly events in Paris have of course been on everyone's minds...prayers today at Mass and the staff at Maryvale sent a message to their colleagues at the Ecole Cathedrale...
