Tradition rules...

...as Christmas draws near. The fields are white with frost as a train carries me down to Sussex through the dusk, to a warm welcome and mulled wine and a family meal. We were meeting to plan the 2011 programme of Catholic History Walks and Talks...lots of v. good things, including a Mass in the Undercroft chapel in Parliament, and the now annual Martyrs' Walk through London finishing with Benediction at Tyburn. We talk until late, and then it is a joy to snuggle down with a book in a lovely room with the calm of Sussex and the scent of the sea...

On train journeys, I'm reading Light of the World, and hugely, hugely recommend it.
