We were welcomed with tea and biscuits before listening to a talk by Sister Mary Stephen on the meaning of the cross. Later we joined the community and other guests in their chapel.

Following this we were provided with a hearty lunch, although initially there was some confusion over apple crumble served with boiled potatoes........

After another afternoon discussion with some reminiscences of the past we were free to spend some quiet time for reflection in the peaceful surroundings around the Monastery.

There only remained for our volunteer drivers with their navigators (and back seat drivers) to wend their way back to Langley. Altogether a pleasant change from our busy lives.
