More English Nuns

Found some nice looking nuns at Oxforshire.

If I ever get to go there, I'll be sure to avoid them carefully. Don't want to spoil a good first impression.

Nice house

Look quite nunny too...


They make recordings of religious books for blind people. Not a bad thing to do. Beats advocating for sea turtles.

St Cecilia's Guild provides a free audio-book library lending service to the visually impaired. Most of the titles on offer are of a religious or spiritual nature, but membership of the Guild is open to all the visually impaired, irrespective of religious belief or affiliation. ..Currently there are about 535 titles on offer – approximately 3250 cassettes. An enthusiastic team of volunteer readers is helping to add new titles, while other volunteers try to keep us on top of the admin – with mixed success. Rewinding and repairing tapes is a regular chore. This equipment was the last word in white-hot technology in about 1970!

Why is it that real nuns always look so happy? It seems rather unfair to us melancholic types.

I think it's a rule. You only get picked for the team if you are cheerful and serene.

Looks like a good bunch.

And the house...

Let's just say that if/when I build my farmhouse in northern Michigan, I'm going to call it "Chartwell."

God wrecks the pictures of cranky nuns, obviously.
