Abroad thoughts from home

October 06, 2018 Bishop Bill Wright

I have written previously about my recent time in Nigeria. When I had done what I went to do there, I travelled on to England for my annual leave - something I have done before but not for about 10 years. I am now going to take the great risk, with an Australian readership, of reflecting a little on some of the good things about Britain, why I feel so comfortable there and, to some extent, what I miss when I come home.
