Retreat Time

After a great deal of busyness I have had time to myself, doing some reading and reflection and looking at a second draft of a book about Shame and the Cross. The temperatures are not too high and it is good to be here.

Today, John has returned to the farmland in the Rwenzori area that they use to supply crops for food for Rukungiri Modern Primary School. Alice will probably set off tomorrow for Rukungiri. I am hoping to see Stephen and Brenda again over these next two days.

John wanted me to travel with him to the farm land today. I felt that  4 hour journey today, a 4 hour journey back tomorrow, a flight on 22nd, and travelling up to Scotland on 23rd was probably trying to do too much in 4 days. So, very sadly (?), we’ll need to come again soon! John and Alice really do want us to visit their farmland and the new parish that John has in the Diocese of Rwenzori.
