I went to...

...Tyburn Convent which stands as a place of prayer, penance and reconciliation on the site of the old Tyburn Tree (see below). 

The Tyburn nuns are longstanding friends of Auntie, and there is always a welcome there. I had gone on an errand for EWTN, and we also had a long talk about lots and lots of things...and we reminisced as Mother X recalled my first visit, back in 1978,  when I was organising an all-night vigil  to pray for Christians in Czechoslovakia on the 10th anniversary of the Soviet invasion... 

The commnity is growing steadily -  there are now convents in all sorts of places and their DVD tells the story
