Yesterday at Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist Monastery was quite a surprise dear readers of Wear and Dao as we arrived there to discover visitors were not welcome in contrast to the Theravadan Buddists from Harnham! Not only were visitors not met with joy and happiness but a distinct lack of occupants were observed , 2 practitioners , a rather anxious workman and a lady from the village happy at being allowed to weed the verges in the knowledge that her husband's ashes were nearby in the monastery. It appears dear readers that Buddist minds are not exempt from the mysterious illness that has infiltrated the world.
Luckily the Community Shop and Cafe nearby was open for business ... delicious soup plus dessert of sticky toffee pudding with custard for the kind caring friend and rhubarb crumble and custard for your old blogger! Of course the Community hub being built on togetherness and kindness the portion sizes were far too big for my friend and your kind caring blogger was called on to help with the sticky toffee pudding . The wonderful pudding resulted in a wonderful snooze for ye Olde blogger, lucky are we that have chauffeurs! .
Today we head over to Beamish Museum with the grandchildren for fun in the Sun and Showers. .. what a blessed life we old folks live eh?
