At Auntie Thelma’s House

Sister Benedict 06/06/2020 13/06/2020Article for Turvey News

Some years ago I took a photo of my teenage nephew Jess in our garden with the Abbey in the background. He subsequently posted the photo on Facebook with the caption ‘At Auntie Thelma’s house’. We at the Abbey rather enjoyed that, I’d finally made it to the ranks of…

Jurassic Park, Turvey

Sister Benedict 01/06/2019 11/03/2020Article for Turvey News

Sometimes, as I walk from the Abbey to the chapel around midday, the sun shines on the stone wall at an angle and my attention is drawn to a little shell. It’s not the only shell to be seen, there are dozens of them in the stone walls of the…
