Fr Albert Robertson OP prepares two dishes to accompany the Michaelmas goose at the end of September.
After a short assignment to our house in Edinburgh, I have been moved to take up a new apostolate, and now live in our priory in Cambridge. After a little time in a guest room over the summer, this month will be the time of truly settling in to my new life here.
Dominicans tend to refer to our rooms as just that, our room, although some of us in a more recherché or ironic way might speak of it as a cell. Oratorians get it right when they speak of their room as a nido, a nest, which captures something of the sense of the homeliness for which we all strive. So this September will be a time of both fresh starts and building a new nest as I start this new chapter of my Dominican life.
