Resting Over, now it’s decision time…..go and get some Wine !!

It’s been a lovely few days here in Lourdes, resting, praying, and trying to get over my recent escapades…!!Which although mainly healed, I think have left me with the inability to do anything too strenuous for a few weeks, and it being near to the ‘High season’, and with things to do at home, I’ve decided to return ….

I’ve booked myself on the Calais –Dover ferry next Sunday morning,so, all I’ve got to do now is ..get to Fleurie, fill Wally up with good wine (she’s always liked that!), and carry on up North with my precious cargo !!

To finish today, I went into the grotto for all day, starting with Rosary at the Grotto at 3-30 p.m., prayers candle lit for everyone’s intentions, Eucharistic procession at 5 p.m.,and blessing of the sick – I must say it’s a humbling sight, to see thousands of sick people, and their helpers, gathered together, all wishing for the miracle to cure them of whatever afflicts them… and all with happy smiling faces.

After which I had a wonderful 3 course meal (and wine!) at La Coupola Hotel Restaurant, before finishing with the Rosary and candlelight procession at 9 p.m. – I just hope I’ve remembered to say a prayer for everyone that either asked,or needed it ! I’m sure God knows who needs what !

So, it’s goodbye from Lourdes, who knows where I’ll pop up next, I know it’s a few days of heavy travelling to cover the length of France, and keeping off the Toll Roads (cheapskate,that I am !)

Bonne Journee’
