"I heard the hundred pin-makers Slow down their racking din, Till in the stillness men could hear The dropping of the pin: And somewhere men without the wall, beneath the wood, without the wall, Had found the place where London ends and England can begin." The Collected Poems of G. K. Chesterton, 1927
I've just come back from spending a few days at an abbey of Benedictine nuns and it has made me very happy!! The place in question is St Cecilia's and it's on the Isle of Wight. http://www.stceciliasabbey.org.uk Pictures and other stuff later but what a great way to start a new year!!

Born and raised in London, I walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain in 2004, where I met a small group of Catholic monks and my life has never been the same since. Once an agnostic, now a Catholic, it is my intention to work towards, albeit in a small way, nurturing something of the Camino hospitality here amidst the hustle and bustle of a fast paced London.
