William's reflection

The best thing for me on the walk was meeting an old friend in Anthony Smith one of the former Curates at St Marys.  He went on to join CMS and was able to aid a considerable number of missionaries in East Africa – including Franklyn Otwoma who has just completed an orphanage in Nairobi which accommodates 60 orphans from the Slums.  Here's a picture of all of us with Anthony.

I also enjoyed the walk along the river bank into Winchester which brought to mind the words of the 23^rd Psalm:  

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
