Blog suspended until Monday 30 June

I will be in retreat at Douai Abbey near Reading from today and for the rest of the week; next Monday I will be travelling to Ampleforth for a couple of days and to the Julian House in Norwich for the rest of that week.  Therefore the blog is suspended until Monday 30 June. (I live in hopes of finding others to contribute to the Blog and cover absences, but so far no takers.)
