The world arrived in a wheelchair having had a difficult week, but this event at St Ethelwold’s called ‘A Celebration of Summer’ tried to put that right.
There were songs of Peace and Social Justice by the Seagreen Singers
and circle dancing as people sat out on the lawn at St Ethelwold’s House enjoying the music, the tea and cakes.
This was followed by a time in the Sanctuary listening to the words of some of the great teachers of this world. By the end of the afternoon we hope the world is feeling more resilient and able to cope with whatever next week brings.
Great photos of a spirits – raising event! Among those listening to the Sea Green Singers were visitors from Abingdon`s twin towns in France, Germany, Belgium and Italy – with some of their host families in Abingdon`s Twinning Society. All the visitors were deeply appreciative of the warm welcome they had from all the Abingdon people they met during the 4 days they were here. The wheelchair – in which the World is temporarily resting – belongs to one of the group who had broken her heel just before coming to Abingdon.
Ah, my old school. Such a wonderful place.
