Today in Rome



Not their usual faces...

....ah, that's better


We walked up an awful lot of stairs in Rome
We took the ones on the right here


An unexpected view accessed through a coffee shop

Margie Richardson made us pretend we were going to have coffee here

But the view was well worth it

Harriet and Michael make sure they will come back to Rome by throwing coins into the Trevi Fountain

Intrepid Blogging

Dear Reader I have ventured out of the Premier Inn and into the heart of Coventry. A quick purchase of a black jumper at Marks and Spencer (a habit of mine when in the UK) and a bath bomb from Lush for later tonight, along with lots of walking on my own led me here to the Golden Cross, a beautiful old pub which specialises in catering for coeliacs. Everything on the menu is suitable. It was the outside that drew me in. While I was hoping for a wood fire I have had to settle for an armchair next to the heater. I’m imbibing of a wine which has travelled further than me, from New Zealand, and waiting for my plum and apple oat crumble, also gluten free.  Which just arrived.

Michael’s Joy

From Michael Gnanapragasam “In 1988, my late grandfather, Rt. Rev. Jabez Gnanapragasam (12th Bishop of the Diocese of Colombo, Anglican Church of Ceylon), came to Canterbury Cathedral, the seat of the primate of the whole Anglican communion, to attend the Lambeth Conference. 31 years later, in 2019, his grandson sang evensong in the very same cathedral with the choir of St. Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide. In a few days, his son (my father) and his other grandson (my brother) will also have been in this magnificent cathedral. Thank you, Appappah for the legacy you left behind. “To God all praise and glory!” Here is Michael with his father Thayalan, his mother Shanti and brother, Jonathan after our last Evensong in Canterbury. All of us are thrilled for you, Michael, as you share your joy in singing God’s praises in English Cathedrals, and continuing your family’s service to the Church.  It is great to have your family with us for our time in London.  Cxx
