...Clare Anderson - we worked together on this book about beloved St John Paul the Great - a busy afternoon working on the Catholic Young writer Award, sponsored by the Catholic Union Charitable Trust. The winners are to be announced next week - I'll be putting up a link on this Blog.
Clare and her family live in the country - different pace of life from mine...dogs, a big kitchen, family meals, vegetables fresh from the garden...
The first part of the day was spent helping out at a local lunch-club for the elderly, organised by volunteers in the local Catholic parish hall. We had a grand singalong, enormously enjoyable. I used to love ding this at the nursing home where my dear mother spent her last years...everyone singing away together. The songs change as generations pass.. Mother's generation sang "The white cliffs of Dover" and "Lily Marlene" and "We'll meet again. Now it's "Edelweiss" and "My Favourite things", and "All I want is a room somewhere".
