The postulant bandannas are so cute! And I love the fact that they are called [color=#4B0082]Children[/color] of Mary. [/quote] Yes! I read their website a bit and their joy seems really obvious.

My budget doesn't quite stretch to visiting America at the moment
OnlySunshine Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 [quote name='Strictlyinkblot' timestamp='1316290319' post='2305931'] I'm glad I've given you so much amusement. What can I say, I'm a coward. Obv my only reason to enter a cloistered order is to avoid escalators. I might avoid telling the novice mistress that though [/quote] Don't worry! I have a fear of heights and of rats, so I know what phobias are like. I just thought it was funny about you saying that you would not have to deal with escalators in the cloister. I got this visual image in my head, so that is why I was laughing.

[/quote] Kirk Edge has one of those lift chairs that is attached to the side of a staircase... one sits on it and it slides up the stairs - for the elderly and those who can't climb. Not an escalator, and no one had to use it, but stil... you never know! lol

No escalators though, unless its tucked away in the back.

Nunsense Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 They can be scary, those pesky escalators, but I still prefer them to stairs - especially when carrying heavy things like books or bags.

Strictlyinkblot Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Moving stairs is just not natural. On a more serious note I've booked my flights for my live-in in Quidenham. Eight days without internet or phones, although I'll have mine on silent in case something happens to my dad. I'm really looking forward to it. I've also got a job interview coming up. It'll probably mean less money but it'll be nice to get off the wards for a while
