Celtic?

Welcome to the biennial meeting of the Celtic Bishops – meaning the bishops of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. We’re in Chepstow – which I understood was to the east of Cardiff. So why did the taxi driver who picked me up at Cardiff Airport say that it was to the west? Anyway, I’m delighted to be here, wherever it is. And wondering precisely what Celtic means in these circumstances. Yes of course it means more than ‘not English’. But what does it mean?

Anyway, we all went to have a look today at St Fagan’s – welsh equivalent of the Ulster Folk Museum. And it was fascinating. A bit wet and cold and dark. Otherwise grand.

I’ll be home on Thursday night.
