A visit to Lady's Well

picnic at Lady's Well

The Wesak Celebration last Sunday went very well and was a great Success. The weather was very kind to us. Sunshine and blue skies greeted everyone who arrived for the day and there was plenty of interest in the newly completed Kusala Retreat House from old faces and new.

On the following day the community welcomed a new member, Ven. Tejananda, a Frenchman from the west of Paris. Having spent the last year as a monk in Burma he has come to look at the training offered here in Northumberland.

On Wednesday the community was invited by Kath to a picnic at Lady's Well, near Elsdon. Again the community was favoured with fair weather, but tempered with a cool breeze. On the Hill it is obvious that Summer is only weeks away as over six dozen lambs are getting bigger, louder and more adventuresome.
