| View of Lindisfarne Priory from our hotel |
On our way up country to Holy Island in Northumbria we stopped off at Epworth Rectory to pay a visit to the special Methodist Women exhibition, 'Transforming the world from the kitchen' about Susanna Wesley and her Godly influence on her children including John and Charles. I hope lots of you who live near by or are passing through Lincolnshire take time out to call in as so much work has gone into the exhibition and it offers real encouragement and inspiration to us all.
We've now arrived on Holy Island where we are spending the night and have a lovely view of the Priory and castle from our hotel room. It's such a special place and part of our Christian heritage and I felt quite emotional as we drove across the causeway as I've wanted to come here for a long time. I'm enjoying reading stories about Aidan and Cuthbert. One of my favourites is amongst the stories of their affinity with animals and creation. One story tells of Cuthbert coming out of,the water where he had been praying and being dried off by two otters rubbing round him! Aw! Never mind luxury bath towels I want otters!!
