Another fairly quiet (and rainy) day here in North East England. We started out with a 25 minute walk to church. We'll be attending Mass at
St. Cuthbert's while here in Durham. It's a lovely old building (no surprise there) and it was packed with people -- many older folk but a lot of not-so-old and a handful of children and younger families. It's such a blessing to be in Mass on a Sunday morning, so far from our home, and yet still hearing the same words spoken and doing the same things, knowing this is going on world-wide.

I talked Chris and Caroline into walking a short distance into the centre of town and getting
takeaway fish-n-chips for lunch. It was yummy and the smell brought me back to my New Zealand childhood!
Naps, walks, tea & scones, books, and now they are watching
Britain's Got Talent. I don't think it is impressing them.
