Happy heart.

 Today on the way  back from the airport,  we stopped at the ruins of a 14th century church and abbey. I touched those stones with my own hands. I wandered through an old cemetery of moss covered stones who held their secrets close, shaded by massive trees. I saw magpies and was able to name them without hesitation. I recognized names of places and things.

Thank you all for your blogs!

So much more but mostly just walking tonight with my daughter and son in law was a thousand longings coming true.

Severely jetlagged. More later.

  11. One of the irritations of moderation for me is that if I'm interrupted I may be in the situation I am now. I cannot recall whether I finished the comment or not.

    You mentioned a 14th century church which reminded me that when I was 21 and was staying with a friend whose father was the Rector of Warboys in Cambridgeshire some American visitors came into the church. It was partially Saxon. On being asked how old it was the Rector replied that it was so old that when Columbus discovered America the church was already older than the "discovered America" was. It made me think.

  15. A thousand longings come true... I can imagine how you feel. I have just read all your posts between this one and the latest (too many to comment on) but what. a time you seem to be having. Leicester was where I went to university; Liverpool where my brother lives... it must be such a contrast to your home. A pity the weather isn't better, but hey, it's the people you're with that matter most
