Storms are nothing new and they are mot always unwelcome. It was a Wednesday evening in the Christmas term of 1971 when the storm battered the school as we gathered for Benediction. As the headmaster played the final hymn, 'Oh purest of Creatures', there was a brilliant white light and an almighty crash. As we regained our whit the Headmaster remained ridged at his post, all colour drained from his face and the organ played no more. After a moment my dormitory master Cope flying and alter servers scattering hither and thither leaped the length of the chapel in a few bounds and assisted the head out of the room while we small persons went happily to bed confident in the knowledge that God was on our side. The head recovered and with some rewiring, which I am sure would violate all health and safety regulations continued in service for another few years. Some how walking home in the rain as a child never bothered me, even today I find that once wet it is no great hardship to press on for taking shelter in dripping wet cloths is far less comfortable then pressing on. When in company it can even be quite entertaining. |

The newsletter of my present parish is at present reminding people to respect spaces allocated for people with Disabled Badges and leave a space for access to emergency vehicles. The outside road is very busy and very close to a rail crossing. |

I never could bear walking home in the rain! I do have memories of emerging from the church after Christmas Midnight Mass, on two occasions, and walking home in a raging blizzard. Beautiful! Well, beautiful in the night but not the following morning when it was all turned into sludge. |

We don't have a car, and neither my husband or I can drive ~ yes, in this day and age at the age of 47! So we're used to Shanks's Pony! To tell the truth, I live about 2 minutes walk away from my Church, so no heroics from me! I go to work on the bus, and have a walk either end...unfortunately today I had shoes on which rubbed my feet in the heat, and now have 4 painfu blisters...so sometimes I suffer for it!

At least, Carlo, you're on the spot if you need confession and the Last Rites. If the priest has already gone, an EMHC may still be about to say a prayer for you! |
