So. Day one at the consultation. HOLY AMAZING BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the the UK on Saturday, and went to Wimbledon (where my friend Jean lives) completely forgetting it was tennis championships. Oops! Slightly mental. Today came out to Windsor. The castle is gorgeous; the chapel is amazing. Worship has a full professional choir each time. So gorgeous. The rooms are lovely, food is FABULOUS, bar is stocked. (Yes, we at planning committee have much to learn for local arrangements!!) It's astounding to see the backgrounds people come from' I'm the only North American here, and folks are generally thrilled that I am here. We'll definitely have to see about continuing this tradition.
A big part of the program is small group work; there's 8 of us plus our facilitator. Seems a good group thus far. We all get to share duties; tomorrow I'm the 'engager' which means I get to lead the discussion and keep notes on a flip chart. I've already noted there's 4 coloured markers. hehehehehe.... happy-flappy-hands!! I present my paper on Tuesday. Very full schedule, I'm *SO* excited I may not be able to sleep tonight.
Anyhow! I'll try to keep some commentary coming along as this 2 weeks continues - right now I'm just overly delighted and exceptionally happy. SO blessed! (And have noted the nearest Starbucks over the castle wall...) Hope all is well wherever you are all at. Off now for a tour of the chapel- hoping for an explanation of some of the weird crown-like decorations!
