Spirituality and sticky-toffee pudding

Interesting to see that The Telegraph Travel section is recommending holiday breaks with religious communities. Our local retreat centre, Launde Abbey, is featured - in fact the title of this blog post comes from from the article as it describes Launde as "an Anglican community where sticky toffee pudding is a speciality and salads come fresh from the Victorian walled kitchen garden". Launde offers themed retreats and, if you want it, spiritual direction, but many come here simply for a quiet day or a restful break and peace is very much the keynote.

The Retreat Association website has more information on retreats as well as further resources including a Prayer for Stillness.
