It’s telling us to visit those places again in the future

I have always thought that too

I love their green and orange walls!
Cool outside, warm inside.
Very good balance.
He he… the Victorians already knew fengshui? I see…

>I see the scaffolding follows you about too, obscuring the view. I thought it just followed me around

Northumberland (and the Northern lands) is a special place to visit if you want to feel connected to and learn more about those early Saints.

Earlier today I was reading a book about St. Francis. It is the book (mentioned in a previous post) that I bought in St Mary’s bookshop.

I have just spent some time rereading your ‘All Saints Day’ post. I was reading it at the same time or just before you left your comment here.

Thanks Ayush. I would have liked to walk up the steps into the memorial garden and get some different perspectives, but on this occasion that was not to be.

Yay! More pics of St. Mary’s!

“Haaave thaaaat” – I want to live in it. Is that blasphemous?

(“Haaave thaaaaat” is what my daughter used to say, like a little song, when she saw something she wanted at about a year old.)

Oh all right, Cherie, fine – I’ll settle for the photo, then, which is the next best thing to being there and just as stunning

And I suppose since Cardinal Hume was a “spiritual beacon, indicating the path to the land God made for man” – and his statue at St. Mary’s pointing towards Holy Island of Lindisfarne – methinks I should probably go to both myself someday
