We have been busy in the last couple of weeks preparing the house, and trying to get gardens under control, as it warms up everything seems to be growing, almost as you look at it.
We are especially looking forward to this year, as we host our last season of retreats here at the house, welcoming new guests, and also many that have joined us before.
If you are coming this year, we are really looking forward to seeing you soon.

This week we are looking forward to welcoming Angela Ashwin for her retreat on:-
Risk, Discovery and Freedom: Insights from the Desert Fathers and Mothers.
Drawing on teachings and
anecdotes from some of the colourful characters who went into the
deserts of Egypt, Palestine and Syria from the 4th century, this retreat
will be a chance to reflect on our own 'desert' or 'wilderness'
experiences. While the Desert Fathers and Mothers practised extreme
austerity and could come across as eccentric or abrupt, they were also
good hosts and wise guides, and we will explore ways in which their
freedom of spirit and self-abandonment to God can encourage us now in
our discipleship and daily lives.
