Tomorrow I climb on a plane back to Cape Town.And have learned much while in the United Kingdom.
I am grateful for the generous hospitality of the people I met... people such as Rory and Linda Dalgliesh, Sue and John Culver, and Debbie Dargan. Thank you too to Ronnie Millar, Des vd Water, and Paul Howes for friendship and colleagueship.
I take leave of my daughter Jessica, who has spent the first seven months of this year as a music assistant at a school. I have spend the last 10 days with her and am amazed at how she has matured into a confident and capable young lady. She now leaves for Scotland, where she will spend the next three months at the Iona Community as a volunteer (She begins in the kitchen!)
And I head back to Cape Town to discover the next chapter in my life.

Can you please complete the sentence?
Will be great to have you back in SA. Can I come visit during Conference?
That's funny, the JWC folks here are telling me you won't be back 'til the 20th. They are trying to call you now, making sure that someone will pick us up tomorrow. I trust that you, or someone, will! We come in at 14:10 on SAA flight 333.
