Another sunny day, heading up the M5 to Broad Marston and a warm welcome. Benedict tells his monks to wash the feet of guests. Nowadays, arriving Alongsiders have their hands washed in a short ritual.
Later, Gabriel showed off the latest photos of progress on Mucknell. The Oratory will be amazing. But of particular interest to me are the renewable technologies, and the plant room and boiler house look formidable! The woodchip boiler is large and shiny, and next to it are various bright red tanks and lots of pipework. Before we move in, we'll get a tour of the plant and training in its operation. I'm looking forward to it!
Between September 2010 and September 2011, I lived alongside an Anglican Benedictine community of monks and nuns. In November 2010, we moved from Broad Marston Manor near Evesham to Mucknell Abbey, a new eco-monastery near Worcester. This blog was about things that I observed and things that interested me. I have now stopped writing it. Thank you to all who were also interested.
