The Best Laid Plans

I did wonder whether it was a little over-optimistic to think in terms of some major upgrading of the site over the week-end. We have made a beginning, but only that. The L.I.E. Group were, as always, a delight but Sunday was definitely piano after having spent most of the previous day in the kitchen or, most monastic of occupations, moving chairs. Monday morning unfortunately saw two thirds of the community hors de combat (with maladies quite unrelated to the week-end's activities). John Gummer MP is scheduled to view the work of St Cecilia's tomorrow, so let us hope there will be a rapid restoration to health. Otherwise Benedictine hospitality may be of the spartan kind.
