Three services to take in the Parish this morning. First, the eight o'clock and then the nine fifteen at St John's, followed by a dash up to St Catherine's for the ten thirty. It was good to find I could still do three in a row without feeling exhausted afterwards. We then went to the Riverside Farmers Market got get our week's veggies and came home with a another variety of cheese from our regular Caerphilly cheese maker, called Celtic Promise. This version uses the same basic product, but steeps it in white wine as part of the maturing process. It acquires a semi-soft creamy texture, and distinctive flavour, reminiscent of some Franco-Suisse Jura cheeses we discovered when we lived there. What a treat!
After a late lunch and lazy afternoon, we walked our usual circuit around Bute Park before settling down to watch the opening Gymanfa Ganu of the National Eisteddfod, being held this year in Llanelli. We'll be visiting on Friday. I spotted Fr John Webber singing away in the gymanfa congregation. He too is doing locum duties here in Canton Benefice while the clergy are on holiday. Bishop Wyn of St David's gave the blessing at the end, in his characterstically concise manner. It was good to see him, albeit briefly. We were in St Mike's at the same time, forty five years ago.
