Our next book is Richard Holloway’s “Waiting for the Last Bus” which we will be discussing here at 168 Slad Road at 4pm on February 19th.
In her review in the Church Times Canon Rachel’s Mann said: “In this wise and, at times, exquisite book (based on a Radio 4 series), Richard Holloway faces death and ageing with dignity, honesty, and — rather wonderfully — with thanksgiving. Not for him the fate of Tithonus, but a gracious welcome of the Last Enemy as an Old Friend. Indeed, at the heart of this book lies a sense that, for him, the approach of death is a gift for wisdom and hope.”
There is adequate parking in our drive, but could those coming let Sue or me know beforehand if they want tea and cake!
