Launde Abbey.

After a strange weekend (please don't ask!) It was good to arrive at Launde Abbey yesterday for an annual retreat with friends I trained for the ministry with. We are here till Thursday. 

We have been coming to Launde together for 20 years and it always is a special place to be with good friends.it's space to relax, 'chew the cud', reflect on life and ministry together, walk together (so far today I've done over 16000 steps...definitely a record for me) and the yummy food always helps. 

It is good to be in such a familiar place that is good for the soul!
