NEWS FROM THE OASIS
On Thursday I had the last of a series of hospital tests. Scans showed that unknown to me, I have suffered several minor strokes.
Permanent medication has been prescribed to avoid the situation getting worse.
I will not be blogging during this period of initial recovery and adjustment to necessary changes in my life style.
Thank you all for your readership in the past, and for your prayers for which I am even more grateful and indebted.
In the meantime, have a fruitful and Holy Lent.
Until The Annunciation, when I hope to be well enough to post again.
Pray for our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI

Urgent! Your prayers are much needed.
Please pray for me tomorrow, as I'm going to hospital for tests as the result of no blood circulation on my left side.
I HOPE to be home in the evening, but if not, any news will eventually find its way here.
Thank you to all my patient readers, and apologies for my silence over recent days.

'My Lord and the Angel' by Rosie Martin
An Encoumter at Harvington Hall.
"In 1921 a ten year old girl came across and explored a mysterious and almost derelict moated manor-house in Worcestershire. There she met a venerable figure who was addressed as 'My Lord' and was so like her childish image of God that she thought he was God. Now aged eighty-six, E.Rose Martin has written a vivid and imaginative account of that childhood adventure which has shaped the whole of her life.
The encounter with 'My Lord' at Harvington Hall started her 'enduring quest'. Throughout her life she returned when she could to her beloved Harvington. Always in her mind was to write about her experience and the way it shaped her life."
This book was a Christmas present, given by one of my dear spiritual 'sisters' in Birmingham. That is one reason I already know it is a treasure without having read it yet. Another reason is that I have examined it thoroughly and know what it is about. It is a tale that reaches back into English recusant History, and therefore is required reading for me, particularly since +'Little John' Owen is one of its main protagonists. The domestic demands of the Season just past have kept me away from it until now. Today, in the peace and quiet of a snowy January afternoon, I am at last settling down to enjoy it.
I will review it when the reading is complete. If you do not already know the story and are impatient to read it, try Amazon via right hand sidebar link, or write to the publishers: Grant Books, Droitwich, Worcs. WR9 OPQ
