EDINBURGH...

...and a glorious sung Mass at this cathedral.   A surpliced choir, magnificent music.

A most useful and enjoyable weekend with the FAITH Movement: an editorial board meeting on Friday, followed by a General Council meeting on Sat. Stayed overnight here...very comfortable accomodation in a splendid  19th c. building which has been variously a convent, a school, a seminary and is now HQ for the diocese with a most beautifully restored chapel and a warm welcome for visitors.  Grand portarits of former Archbishops in  splendid tiled corridors, and in the chapel a poignant WWI memorial, fine carved cruciifix and screen, beautiful sanctuary, and pleasing sense of peace as a priest was quietly praying his Office...

And now in Sunday sunshine I'm writing this in a cafe just off the Royal Mile awaiting arrival of a niece who has just completed her final exams at the University here...
