We are more or less out of all our new house problems and I am desperate to get back to writing again. That is the good news. The difficulty now is that I find myself deeply involved with a huge study of Paul Davies’ book The Mind of God, in which I have made so many marginal notes over the past few years that, trying to expand them, they nearly make a book of their own. At the same time my work on Dame Julian of Norwich’s fourteenth century Revelations of Love is so absorbing it takes up much more of my time than I had expected.

Here is a promise: I will be back

within two weeks.
