ideas over lunch

Went to Lent lunch in support of Christian Aid, (Conger eel soup and bread and cheese) and had a most stimulating chat.  Raised the topic of putting on a Retreat Day in the Autumn and was greeted with an enthusiastic response.   Most encouraging.  By the end of the meal we had mapped out ideas for the day and I even received an offer of assistance. Even more encouraging, so  I am now putting together a plan for the day, based on the Fisherman's Chapel in the corner of St Brelades Bay, Jersey.  This is an 11th Century small stone chapel with wall paintings, link to see it http://www.stbreladeschurch.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=64 and from the chapel on one side there is a sanctuary path that leads down to the beach, and on the other side there is a pathway ascending through the woods to a headland and a network of cliff pathways. Need to aim for a Saturday in October when the tide is out in the middle of the day so that we can use the beach for quiet reflection. Delighted this suggestion has received a positive response.  Next need to sort out dates.
