In Oldbrook, a not-so-rich suburb in the Buckinghamshire city of Milton Keynes, sits a typical brick work that is mostly mistaken for an ordinary residential facility. The structure is patterned after the usual architectural designs in cosmopolitan Britain, so it is quintessentially British. But for the inscription on the apron of the facility, many a passer- by would not dare give it a glance and...

Bugger. Four weeks ago I was thinking, "No worries, I've got four weeks to do some training, get myself fit and be ready for the first Vets game of the season." That was four weeks ago. And now it's little more than 15 hours before I'm due on a rugby pitch somewhere in Buckinghamshire to face the High Wycombe Vets' team. That's the same High Wycombe team that stuffed us twice last season. That's the...

70th anniversary mass last night for one of our (comparatively few) Anglo-Catholic churches in Buckinghamshire. Set in a tough urban landscape, St Mary & St George Sands has been a real landmark since 1938. This is a simply lovely place to sing Mass; it has a simple resonant interior. Its real glory, however, is a wonderfuly mixed and close congregation — which has grown a recent ordinand, with another...
