A party of 27 pilgrims, well, 28 if you include Tessa, a very young pilgrim, went from St George Christ Church St Paul up to Walsingham last weekend, and had a beautiful time.
To the right you see our group doing the Stations of the Cross and then further right, Pat and Sheila on the walk out towards the Slipper Chapel.
Going on pilgrimage is a very special time: it's not just a holiday, because the place and context lift all the conversations one has out into a deeper, more meaningful realm.
I'm sure all that went have returned refreshed and inspired in some way, even though Walsingham also contains some of the quirkier parts of the Anglican tradition. People this year were especially amused by the feet disappearing into the ceiling of the Ascension side chapel.
Wonderful, all the same.
Do join us this coming Sunday for our service celebrating "Christ the King": we'll have a 'bring and share' lunch afterwards: bring something very simple to share and we'll all chat.
Also, have the Christmas Fayre in your diaries: Sat 6th December.
Time to pick up some belting bargains in these tough times.
God bless,
Father Robert
