So, finally home after a hectic week of Masonic meetings, including two trips to London.

The week started with a visit to 10 Duke Street, St. James’s with Ill.Bro. John Green, a member of Emmanuel Chapter Rose Croix in Bolton, who was receiving his 30th Degree.

Back to Lancashire for the Installation of Pendle Lodge at Colne on Wednesday, supporting WBro Mark Barlow at the end of his year in Office, during which he has been an excellent ambassador for his Lodge and a regular visitor to my own Lodge, Brierfield, at Padiham.

Brierfield Lodge practice on Friday, then back down to London on Saturday with Sue for the Board of Grand Stewards’ Ladies’ Dinner at Mark Masons; Hall in the company of my ‘twin’ Grand Steward of the year, Gerry Young, and his wife Annette.
