'SPECIAL PLACES'

“Now almost 84 and once Head of Chemistry at the school for eleven years (do you remember spider diagrams?), I used to coach cricket, boxing, violin and ran the Science Society and Copeland Society. This is a challenge to Old St Beghians to contribute to my third book.

You may have experienced a 'special place' in your life - perhaps more than one - places where you experienced a particular feeling of peace and calm. The Celts called these 'thin places' where heaven and earth are very close - 'almost spiritual' as some of my friends would say. These may be waterfalls, stone circles, rivers, lakes, the Cumbrian seashore or even in a plane over the Atlantic Ocean.

If you have experienced such feelings in any particular location, I should be delighted if you were to email me with the details to: eric.middleton2@btinternet.com.

It would be wonderful to have some special places from a number of OSBs, from my own entry point in 1958 to the present day.

What did your special place feel like, perhaps in another dimension?

With every good wish.”
