God’s Glory seen in this bluebell wood streaked with the morning sun. A day of beauty seen in violets, primroses, wood anemones, wild orchids, copper beeches,birdsong and so much more! We met at St John’s Church, Whitwell on the Hill receiving a warm welcome and a slice of the most delicious cake ever! Cooler again today and nice breeze. At Howsham another warm welcome and scrummy biscuits (I could make a habit of this). A detour to visit to the Archimedes screw at Howsham Mill was well worth the effort and then on to Harton. The end of the day prayer was given next to a gypsy encampment on the roadside. A brilliant day - the end is in sight!
What a lovely way to celebrate one of my favourite red letter days . It was always a day off from lectures when I was at my C of E college in Ripon in the 60s and we would have a trip somewhere lovely in the countryside. I've played my Bach Cantata no 11 for the Ascension, my ritual for the day and Look forward to Pentecost.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say I shall be taking C for drive to see the Archimedes Screw . I took the bus from Leyburn to Bainbridge to see the one there last month, could not persuade any of the children or grandchildren to accompany me but I enjoyed it!
