Andrew ministering to Kusala House's vergesOn a sunny Saturday at Kusala House we were fortunate to enjoy an interesting Sutta Study Day led by Professor Peter Harvey which was very much appreciated by all. We hope he can spare the time for a return visit. Having flown over from Sri Lanka in April, on Monday Bhante Dhammagawesi came to stay for a couple of days and was invited into Newcastle upon Tyne for a Dani and to give a talk.
Last week B&Q admitted they had made a mistake in supplying Mame with some old turf, which was somewhat depleted in chlorophyll. So this week Mame, Daeng and Maureen relaid the new turf which B&Q had given in lieu. So now the monastery has a beautiful deep green and verdant front lawn.
With summer just around the corner the community is outside gardening, painting and maintaning the outside woodwork around the hilltop. After many cold, damp winters there are many patches in need of some careful attention, and these dry, sunny days offer the perfect opportunity.
