It's Bank Holiday weekend, but why join queues of cars on the road? I did venture up to
Greenbelt last evening: amazing crowds, transforming Cheltenham racecourse for the weekend; but going for the evening only, I felt more a tourist than a pilgrim. (John Bell of
the Iona Community impressed me as a speaker; and it was good to talk to those on the
CEL stand.)
Yes, here we still are, in Cheltenham. The
sale board remains up, but it's more than a fortnight since anyone came to look at the house. On a rare dry August Saturday, Ida (aged 10 months), having discarded a sock, sits under the russet tree to eat her lunch... and gets her beans in a row.
