Wednesday and Thursday Ray has a series of meetings around London with clergy who have first hand experience of planting or grafting new congregations. They are all very pleased to spend time talking about their stories and offering advice for future development of the church. Without exception they are loyal and positive about the Anglican Church, the Bishop of London and the support they are receiving from the Diocese.
Meanwhile Glenys spends most of Wednesday exploring the delights of Bond and Oxford Streets and especially the Liberty Shop. Thursday she explores Paddington and visits 'Hair of London' in preparation for the engagement party that evening.
We celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary on Table 23 (on the 23rd!) at Bel Canto Opera Dinner which is located just around the corner from our hotel.
Before Thursdays meetings we spend a couple of hours at the Tate Modern where we enjoy finding Picasso, Stanley Spencer, Kadinsky, Rothko and many others.
The engagement party at Dartmouth Castle Pub in Hammersmith is a fun night shared with about 20-30 of Steve and Eryn's friends, a good number of whom are Aussies.
