Amazed Where I End Up...
I have walked past the Quakers Meeting Place in Darlington often over many years, tonight I found myself inside.
Why? Because of the following...
Firstly we were entertained by the following duo, sadly I missed their names. Real talent and a lovely choice of light classics and religious music, all familiar to me and some bringing back memories of childhood but memory means I have forgotten the names of many that were played.
The man himself...Bruce Kent has given so much of his life to the cause of nuclear disarmament and still is going around the UK giving a powerful message which is compelling and in particular the closing down of the Trident weapon programme in the UK.
Last night he was in Sunderland, today he was in Durham Market Place(unknown to me)and tonight Darlington. Quite an itinerary for anyone of any age but Bruce is...84 years old.
I would have liked to stay behind and speak with him but once again I had to dash to be sure of getting home via the bus service that exists...but I am very glad that I did go and listen to someone I have been aware of for most of my life.
