Great to be home after a long weekend – and good to be greeted by hug from my wonderful family.

Ups:
laughing and joking until the early hours with good friends
watching rugby in a local pub with Jeremy and Dave
listening to a very enthusiatic prison chaplain
learning new things about people
the food …. most unexpected!
smuggling a keg of beer into our room

Downs:
listening to 3 poor presentations
becoming more confused that before over the motivation behind chaplaincy
hearing no references to ‘mission’ from 3 out of the 4 chaplains
wondering too often ‘what am I doing here?!’
the keg never clearing

I reflect and pretty much think if it was not for the people in my year group, I would have pulled out what little hair I still have!
