Our September meeting was full of monk-ey business as we discovered what life was like in a medieval monastery!  No one felt like joining a monastery when they had  found out more about the rule of silence (now there’s a thought….!) and the hard work.  The idea of being woken for a church service in the middle of the night wasn’t very appealing either.

However, everyone felt like making a cardboard monk and soon there was a rather impressive monastery too!
