Around the City of London...

...we went, pausing at the splendidly-named St-Vedast-alias-Foster, and  Guildhall, and St Lawrence Jewry...it was a friendly and delightful group of History Walkers, a pleasure to lead.  At St Lawrence, there was a display about the Battle of the Somme, marking this centenary year...some poignant exhibits, and the chap in charge, was v. knowledgeable about the battle...and so on through the City, and we finished at the place where a plaque marks the site of the birth of Bl.John Henry Newman....and thus the first of this new series of History walks ended....and there are more to come: info here...

Today, another gathering in London: Plenary Session of the clergy of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. I had volunteered to help w. refreshments...it was, as always, a pleasure to be at St Patrick's, Soho, where the Plenary was held. The mood seemed upbeat, morale good. They had Fr Stephen Wang as guest speaker in the morning, then discussion of various topics during the afternoon.

BTW,   Auntie is speaking at the  Ordinariate parish of St Anselm, Pembury (Fr Ed Tomlinson)  on Wednesday  as part of a series of events for this Year of Mercy...
