Quiet garden day at Handywater Farm
MONDAY 4TH OCTOBER
The last of this year’s series of quiet retreat days at Handywater will take place at Handywater on Monday 4th October. It will be led by John Edmonds-Seal from Beckley near Oxford, who has been recommended to us by Bishop Anthony Russell. The Rev Edmonds-Seal will base the day’s reflections on “Praying with Scripture”, involving two prayer experiences using scripture in silent prayer and meditation.
Do come as usual at any time from 9 – 9.30am ready for a 10am start, and if you are staying for the whole day until 4.30pm, don’t forget to bring yourself something for lunch. With luck the weather may still be kind so that you can spend the time in the garden, but in case it is cooler it would be wise to bring a rug with you. Don’t let inclement weather put you off. The fires are easily lit, and chairs can be put by the windows so that you can look out at the view even if you don’t want to be outside.
Last month’s quiet day led by Barbara Doubtfire was well attended. An increasing number of people are beginning to appreciate these regular opportunities to step aside from the world to meditate and refresh the spirit. Do come and try it out if you haven’t experienced a quiet day yet. Anybody is welcome for all or part of the day. Sue would be glad to know if you are thinking of coming .

Received a note from Mrs Mann saying she had “taken the liberty” of allowing her daughter Emma, who was applying for a situation, to mention my name as a referee. I told her in reply that I should be happy to be of any service I could.

Jesse Bishop called to ask whether we had come to any decision about the Farm. I replied that we were waiting for a communication from him and Austin if they wished to keep on, for that it was no use to decide anything with respect to them unless we knew before hand whether it was likely to meet their views.
Charles Barnes called and said the coals had been distributed in a very satisfactory manner by Harris of Hook Norton. I settled with him for superintendence etc. He said there were some grumblers at Burdrop who were dissatisfied at having to wheel a few yards the coals given to them. I told him to refer all grumblers to me and tell them that if they made rude remarks in his presence to tell them that he took it for granted that they wished them to come to my ears.
