Sunday October 26th

I had a fascinating chat over breakfast with Tom Spencer (Robert and Lil’s eldest) who after completing an MSc is now an analyst with the Agricultural and Horticulture Development Board. His specialty is analyzing the beef markets for the benefit of British farmers.  

Then Helen and I went to listen Hugh Bonneville: The Magic of Stories. Who would know that one of the stars of Downton Abbey wrote children’s books? It was very entertaining.



We had lunch at a farmers market.



Helen and I then went to Evensong at the Cathedral which was a special service for the Canterbury United Nations Association. The homily was very realistic about the current wars and the defunding of the UN and international aid by the US. Photos on next page.
