Being ecumenical

Tuesday 17 – Thursday 19 Nov

Tuesday morning dawned gloriously, so I took advantage of the good weather to go for a walk in Christ Church Meadow, which runs south of Merton College and Christ Church (cathedral and college). It has been a very mild autumn so far, with an atypical absence of fogs and frosts (the […]
