This Sunday morning the (Nearly New) Bishop of Bolton was at St Bede. I met Chris (the Bishop) last year (2007), when I had a weeks holiday at Lee Abbey in North Devon. Chris was the Warden of Lee Abbey at the time.

I knew that I would be bringing something back to Bolton, but never expected it to be a New Bishop... :-)

We had a good talk about Lee Abbey as I had a small collection of photographs taken there on my iPod Touch. Scargill House came up in the discussion as we are both Scargill Partners.

NB: (Nearly New) was part of the Sermon that Chris gave when he asked "How long does the 'New' tag last, before he becomes a 'Nearly New' Bishop?"
