Summer Rest

Our theme for services and events this month is 'Summer Rest'. Here, we share some inspiring words of wisdom and some questions to give you food for thought.

Words of Wisdom

‘Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs

About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,

The night above the dingle starry,

Time let me hail and climb

Golden in the heydays of his eyes,

And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns

And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves

Trail with daisies and barley

Down the rivers of the windfall light.’

from Fern Hill by Dylan Thomas

2. Where is your favourite place to find rest?

3. What memory holds your truest self?

4.  What is your definition of an ethical traveller?
