In pouring rain, to Maryvale...

...where there is now always a sense of coming home, of things feeling comfortable and familiar as one turns in at the drive.

Funeral Mass for Mgr Paul Watson in Maryvale's chapel, known and used by Bl JH Newman: like so many Maryvale graduates, I owe Mgr Paul a lot...

Refreshments and lots of chat...

Then the Redford Lecture, given this year by the Bishop of Northampton.

And now today, I've just been in the laundry, pressing my gown for the graduation ceremonies which will take place in St Chad's Cathedral. I enjoy wearing my St Mary's (Twickenham) MA gown, with its special lining of Challoner rose-coloured silk.

I return to Maryvale next weekend to lecture to the BA students on apologetics...
