Good evening, I would be so honoured if you would join me for a long half an hour of gentle ponderings and readings, as we sit in a Dorset garden, and rejoice in the big skies and merry crows, while grieving the flight of the swifts to warmer lands. Let’s hope the fledglings survive, to return next year to the golden sheltered eaves of Sherborne School. 

Thank you to dear Bijan Omrani for permitting me to read from his stunning book ‘God is an Englishman’.  

Thank you dear Michele for the thoughtful present which I will always cherish, and for the lovely messages, including from Anne.  I wish you well on your journey to happier lands. 

.We can’t always dictate the direction of the journey we are on, but we have much power over the small, daily steps that we take.  Tiny decisions: to spend ten minutes a day reading before getting dressed; five minutes each evening sitting outside to catch the first stars and bat; to not say or do anything that casts shame or blame on another person: all these things we can do.  

Goodnight and best wishes 🦉 🐦‍⬛ 🦇
