Teams' Ramble . . .



We had a really lovely day today on our annual Teams' Ramble. We've belonged to Teams of Our Lady for over 20 years. We joined soon after I was received into the Church and we thought this sounds like something we could do together as a couple, and that would help me as a new Catholic - and we were right.

A Team is generally 4 or 5 couples and a chaplain who meet in each other's homes once a month to support one another in their vocation of Christian marriage. We share a simple meal, read and meditate on a passage from scripture, pray and share the highs and lows of our month with one another.

As well as these monthly meetings we also make an annual retreat together and have various social events throughout the year both as a Team and with members of other Teams.

After the rain we've had over the past few days it didn't look too promising for our ramble but luckily the weather improved and it was ideal walking weather today and we were able to sit outside at the pub afterwards and enjoy our lunch.

We even managed to see a few 'baa-lambs' en route - aaaaaaaaah!
