    He is good as new!

    He loves camping. It is to rain everyday for the next two weeks. But at least it is warm.

    Will there be rain in heaven? I hope so. It would not be Ireland if it never rained. And heaven would not be heaven if it were not a little Irish

    They say the Rosary before mass in the little seaside town I go to every morning at the moment . But they say ut badly as they say it far too fast and rote .

    Imagine my surprise after Mass when a lady led 4 people after Mass in saying the Rosary exactly as Our Lady taught me. I wondered to myself 'Who taught you to say the Rosary like that?'

    Wonderful. LIFE is full of surprises

    Bluebells everywhere in the woods. Each one a little bell ringing from heavenvto remind me of Mary .The little blue flowers on a background of green. Gorgeous Only God the Great painter could have thought this up

    Deep in the woods , my favourite spot on a deep grassy tunnel is a little fairy tree, where artists have put little doors on the tree and painted toad stools It reminds me so much of my grand mother who told us so many stories of the Little People .

    Round the tree several painted stones with little messages One read .

    'A life without dreams is like a rainbow without colours'.

    Beautiful.

    I came across this guy on You Tube who is somewhere across the pond over by you I think. He not only finds little fairy villages but also pixies and video tapes them. I'm assuming it's a hoax, but I love the footage and want to go wander in the woods where he is!

    I was wondering what you do with the dogs when you go to mass in the morning.

    He stays in the back of the van. He has a nice little bed and blanket.

    He barks angrily if he thinks he had been left too long.

    I am sorry for not posting much but where I am this week has little or no Internet.

    I fell into a deep exhausted sleep late afternoon. I might wellhave slept forever but the dog woke me by barking in my face.

    Took a shortcut through the woods. Armies of bluebells marching on deep green , drunk with the May sun.

    Yesyerterday at mass, at Communion they played Ave Maria and I fell into an ecstasy at once It is nearly 40 years since raptures and ecstasies werea thing.

    They are a bit like entering a furnace of light and live. A prelude to heaven.

    As St Teresa of Avila taught with Spiritual Marriage you get them to heel. I H
    have a total horror of anyone noticing, they used to knock be to the ground.

    But nice to have one aguan like meeting an old friend at dusk

    I am always kind of sneering at young people who use their smart phones too much.

    But here were there is little or no Internet I miss it like a hole in my soul

    Silence is a great teacher.
