My dear Friends
'Wherever you go, the mother is calling her child.' So goes a song about Wales. My trip to Swansea last weekend was a bit of a homecoming for me as it was in Wales in a monastery in 1987 that I first came to Christ.
I hadn't realised that Swansea would be so beautiful, all that sea and rolling hills. My friend and I spent several hours walking along the beaches, even in the rain! For Wales is notorious for wet weather.
Swansea was the home of Dylan Thomas and we visited the Dylan Thomas Centre, with an interesting exhibition about his life. Afterwards my friend gave me a book of his poetry which I look forward to reading.
It was lovely to see all those Welsh faces and to see the signs in Welsh and occasionally to hear Welsh spoken;my friend spoke it at school until the age of nine. In another life I would love to learn it.
We wandered into quite a few pubs and also visited an art gallery and I have come with many happy memories.
Shalom from
