Early on Sunday morning...

...a telephone call from RADIO SOLENT, where they were interviewing young Leo Stoy, who won this year's CATHOLIC YOUNG WRITER AWARD - he was in the studio along with his parents and parish priest. I was to join in the discussion. There is something agreeably surreal about sitting with a mug of tea in the cold morning light in London chatting on a radio programme down on the South Coast. It was fun and a good way to start Sunday. Then Mass, and on to Oxfordshire to spend the day with relatives. Autumn leaves bronze and golden and green and glowing along the lanes. Exchange of family news and I regaled them with adventures in Poland making the new programme for EWTN, avoiding bears in the Tatras and being offered boiled cheese and whey by a kindly shepherd as he told us about his meeting with St John Paul...
