NEWS and MUSINGS

Ant appeared here today with his enthusiasm for things Thai taken to new heights - now a black haired boy no less! He'd arranged a sponsored walk in aid of funds to pay off the Wood Cottage debt. Thirteen young people from Warwick University led by Tahn Manapo walked from Hampton Lucy, by the river and up along the bridle path to Wood Cottage, where they revived themselves with a cream tea that Ant had thoughtfully arranged. Tahn Manapo of course just got the tea. Sadly, I couldn't walk with them. My foot is much better and on the flat I'm walking normally but I still have to be careful on rough ground. I did walk over to Wood Cottage and joined them for a few minutes in the Shrine Room, which is where this group picture was taken. As he took it and wasn't in it and as his new look deserves a wider appreciation, an individual shot of Ant is included.
Hopefully these walks will catch on and there will be more of them as the year progresses, with me joining in. Amazingly, they raised £220 today, which is absolutely marvellous. Well done and Anumodana!
