maundy moments

OK, so it's the best advert yet for my desperate need for an i-phone (or any phone actually with a half decent camera!) but it's a quick Lenten snap of a Lenten moment. We took the kids this year to the Maundy Thursday meal. They've been before in various guises, mostly as breastfeeding babes or toddlers with toilet training to distract them. But it was good to have them along this year. A bit of a different experience for us, but then it's change a lot in the last few years anyway. It's hard not to remember the meal we shared the day after Ali died. Feels like a lifetime ago. They loved the foot washing. Hardly anyone else got a look in. Oops. Then I came back a bit early with a flagging K. Straight to bed and then to sleep to whispered stories of when a man, a long time ago, in a faraway land, washed the feet of his friends.
