Well, it has arrived at last. The new college term has started. This evening we had a great Welcome and college Eucharist (and renewal of Baptism vows). During the service there was a phenomenal rain storm, and a most spectacular double rainbow over All Saints Church welcomed us as we all left.
Tea afterwards was equally spectacular and it was great to start meeting new friends, and chat over coffee (and later a glass of wine).
There is a week of induction - where we get to know what is expected and get used to the format of each day. We start at 7.30 with Morning Prayer (Hilary and I will alternate on this), breakfast at 8.30 and then a morning of lectures and seminars. Afternoons are generally free for studying, with tea at 4.00, followed by Evening Prayer and Dinner (although I am not sure how many dinners we will get to). In addition, there are a variety of tasks and duties we complete as part of a team, including leading worship, security, bar duties, hospitality, etc. Plus, there are practical bits I would like to learn - things that I will probably never get the opportunity to do - I might even learn to sing!
