Wednesday 30th July

Wednesday. Phew.....what a great day. I went on an outing to a hospital. It was the one with spaces so I just filled in with no real idea of where I was going. It turned out to be Burrswood a Christian Hospital near Tunbridge Wells. I have booked a bed for after I have my hip op and my knees sorted. It was the usual God given free offer. An amazing day at a beautiful place where peace just seeped into our souls and bodies as soon as the coach drove down the drive. They treated us like royalty (well we did have Jane Williams in our number. I think they must have heard her talk on Radio 4 on Sunday and maybe even the Womans Hour interview). After good food, pleasant walks in the sunlit gardens we ended our day of rest with a Healing Service in their magnificent chapel. Truly a retreat that healed the whole body, physically, mentally and spiritually.

I finished my day with our usual Compline in the Senate House here on Campus.
