More of Aylesford

This week at Aylesford we have had many visitors. The Carmelite NGO team to the UN met here. Also a small group of young people met to make music and form a week long community. We also welcomed friars on route to the council of provinces being held in Italy next week.

This Wednesday Br Paul Jenkins will profess simple (first) vows and then move to our Walworth community to begin studies towards ordination at Heythrop. I also move to Walworth for a few months as parish priest. Photo's of the friary and church in Walworth next week. Meanwhile more of Aylesford.

A Morning View

A while has past since my last blog. The end of the July saw an end to my time as chaplain at Spec and a return to community life. I arrived at Aylesford in time to lead the All Night Vigil that takes place during the pilgrimage season. I was due to begin a sabbatical in September, but needs take over from wants and I have been asked to be acting parish priest in the Carmelite parish of Walworth in South London. So I will be on the move again. Meanwhile here are some pictures from last evening around the pond and views from my bedroom window.







I purchased this camera in anticipation of my travels. I'm still getting used to it. More photo's of the friary to come.
