Yesterday evening we set off to travel to Nottingham to collect our daughter who had been visiting the English relatives. She wanted to be here for a Funeral Mass on Monday.
We stopped overnight near Carlisle, then set off at 9.15am. We were aiming for 10.30am Mass at Barnard Castle. We made it, attended Mass and had a few words with Fr Elkin. After a quick coffee in the town, we made our way to Ilkestone, arriving at 2.30pm.
After a cup of tea, we moved to Worksop Priory to take photos for the previously mentioned calendar idea. Sadly the Church was locked, so I could not get inside to get a photo of the statue of Our Lady.
So at 3.30pm, we headed for home, only stopping for a meal on the A66 near Scotch Corner.
We got home at about 9.45pm.
Since last Monday I have driven 1800 miles, and 600 of those were in the last 24 hours.

It was nice to meet Fr Elkin again. He is following my blog, so I will have to get my facts straight over the next few days when I comment on the Priory Churches I have visited.
