My dear Friends
I have been missing Toronto ever since I got back, And looking forward to the next trip. One of my favourite places in the Robarts library in St George Street, where I spent some happy hours reading and resting. Unlike the library here in Cambridge, you don't need a card to enter and you can visit the beautiful reading rooms, and especially the reference library, which has beautiful views over the city.
There are many green and wide open spaces, with lovely places to sit. Many of the days I met wonderful people and had great conversations, including a young woman from India, who has just settled there. One one occasion I went to the Church, which was about to celebrate its hundredth anniversary.
On several occasions I met my friend Helena, who took me swimming and looked after me for a whole day. On the Friday our priest took us for a lovey meal in a Middle Eastern restaurant.
One of my happiest experiences was going to see Bishop Lacey, and elderly Bishop of 96 who had befriended me in previous years. We talked and shared communion together, which was a wonderful experience. He is now in the Retirement home in Scarborough, to the east of the city, and a lady who was at the bus stop guided me there.
This is all for now
Much love from Cambridge
