Doaui and Stonor
Drama when Liz heard Sr Jean calling out and she had pulled the emergency chord which only let off an alarm in the corridor. She had caught her arm between the bath and the disabled handle. Fire engine and ambulance came and 7 people emerged from her room while Martin Foster and I looked on. I went downstairs to let the emergency services in through the night door. Fortuanately the gates were open. Monks could not be raised but at 4 a.m. Jean did get taken to A and E by Br Finbarr. Tuesday was a full day starting with Lauds in St Mary’s church and sung Mass with John Rowntree on the organ. Martin Foster introduced us to English proper settings based on chant and after lunch workshop on Farrell and a Mass based on Shaker melodies by Wood. Dom Gervaise spoke on Latin? Rehearsed Latin vespers and the singing was much better tonight. Good food. Listened to more Radio 4 programmes on Shakespeare. I cannot get internet on the laptop. Wednesday 7 a.m. Lauds and then to Mass. After break...
