The good news today, Saturday 19th July, is that I have been given a ticket for the service in Canterbury Cathedral tomorrow morning. It appears that only Bishops and spouses are assurred of a place so I was very fortunate to get a ticket and look forward very much to this special Opening Service of the Conference. At lunchtime it is possible to eat a snack outside overlooking the City of Canterbury with the Cathedral rising in the middle. Today I am going to do that as the sun is shining.

Many of the delegates from warmer places have been cold, although to me it seems very warm! Some of the local churches , especially MU groups, have provided a number of warm jackets and cardigans for the use of those who need them. I hope the rain will stay away and it will get even warmer. There is a lot of outside walking to do. I am exhausted by bedtime!!
