BIOGRAPHY Forthcoming 

Appearances

Don presented Good Morning Sunday

for over 15 years

 

 

This coming Sunday is World Communications Day but more importantly it’s the Feast of the Ascension.

Monday is the Feast of St Catherine of Siena , patron saint of Italy . It’s said that she was the most influential woman in the Church during her lifetime. Her body is in the Church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva which is very near to the Pantheon in Rome & next door to the Dominican convent in which she lived.

Wednesday is the anniversary of the swearing in of the first President of the United States of America . Two hundred years later this has become the most important political office in the world. We must hope that the next president, whoever that may be, will lead the Western world with wisdom, courage & humility & that, like George Washington, they will be ever mindful that there is a higher authority to which we must all pay deference

Thursday is the feast of St Joseph the Worker when we ask God’s blessing  on human work & protection for those who work in dangerous occupations, underground, at altitude, on the high seas,

Friday is the Feast of an interesting saint - Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, a man described as being small in physical stature but of towering spirit. I always feel that he gives hope to people striving to make up for a perceived deficiency.

I’ve had a busy but most rewarding week. The short tour of ‘Magic Moments’ to Nottingham, Hull, Leeds & Leamington Spa went really well though I think my bits of dance & general stage movement could do with some work. On Sunday morning “Wait Till Your Father Gets Home” went better than it’s ever gone before. A full audience at The Spa, Scarborough gave Malc Stent & I a standing ovation; we really must try to take the show out on tour again.

On Tuesday this week I set off to join the Artemis. I’ve never worked on this ship before but all P&O vessels are spectacular. I fly from Birmingham to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Athens , Athens to Rhodes . Once there I join the ship & sail with it to Lisbon from where I shall be flown home. I’m looking forward to it despite the arduous flight schedule. Just hope the audiences like me otherwise I shall have to jump overboard & swim to the nearest shore.

Until next week, may the Lord walk with you & keep you safe.
