Notes of a six day trip to the West Coast and North-West Tasmania
| Prayer and Breakfast at Ulverstone Rectory | |
| 9.30am | Meet Jill for coffee at a hidden jewell, Deli Central, in Ulverstone. I am sure it is only discoverable by the intrepid archdeacon on her journeys of discovery in the west and NW of the Island State. |
| 11.15 | Buy newspapers, Michael Jackson dominates them all, and leave Ulverstone. |
| 11.45 | Arrive Devonport Rectory. Warmly welcomed and catch up over lunch. |
| 1.00pm | Rector John & Bronwyn set off for parish meeting chaired by the Venerable Jill. I unpack and settle into my 5th lodgings of the trip. Emails & write up two days’ of posts from my scrawled notes about this Episcopal trip to the West Coast and NW. |
| 4.40 | Time to hear of the parish meeting. |
| 6.00 | Dinner with John and Bronwyn at ‘Hawley’s Gingerbread House’. Josephite Sisters from the MacKillop Hill Spirituality Centre were also there enjoying a meal. I had meet Claire at the National Chaplains’ Conference in Launceston a few years ago. You cannot escape in Tassie! The food was excellent. Most intriguing menu item, ‘Steak for Bogans – bacon wrapped eye fillet buried under an avalanche of fries in green peppercorn sauce on mushrooms’. |
| 9.00 | Writing and prep for tomorrow’s Confirmation Service at St John’s Devonport, starting with breakfast with the four Confirmees, their families, John and Bronwyn.
Lord, may the joy, hope and purposes of your resurrection life, fill us all tomorrow. |
