Summer Camp and Wifi Monks!

It is under 2 weeks until Summer Camp and it still feels as if there is so much to do!

Not sure where to start? I start to make some lists and then I wander off on a tangent and end up doing something else (like writing a post on my blog!).

Last week in one hand was good, we went on team retreat and the other hand the news of the bomb attacks has really left a strange mood. The day before everyone was over joyed about getting the Olympics and then under 24 hours later everything changes. What is the world coming to?

Last week at Turvey (the Abbey we go to for team retreat) I found out the the monks have wifi internet! They are monks, they probably shouldn't have internet let alone wifi! I am half expecting to see Brother Tom pull up in a brand new Lotus next time I am there! Each time I meet them I gain more respect for them and I am also more amazed about the life of a wifi internet monk!

One strange thing on team retreat was planning dates for next year. If you do not already know I am off traveling in November so I will be leaving LCET! It felt strange and slightly sad only having to write down the dates for what is happening up to the end of October! I started to miss it all already, the Christmas dinner that the trustees put on for us, team retreats and even training days believe it or not! In 16 weeks I will be gone and Luton will be a brighter place for some - check out the post about the one who hates me!!

If you want to keep up with my travels check out my other Blog!

Don't have too much respect for us - there are no doubt much better monks.

Also in what sense are we wifi? I make a real effort to have a bit of a wash before LCET come just to be kind of approachable. Therefore, whence wifi?

Hi Brother Tom,

It just means wireless internet, not anything bad.

Also thanks for washing before we come, it is much appreciated!
