Veronica!

I've blipped my friend Veronica before - she's a real character. She's a Poor Clare nun and lives in an enclosed order which means she pretty much never leaves the monastery. Even in sickness there is an infirmary and there's a small graveyard in the garden for when death comes. 

Veronica told me today that the age of the sisters are: 98, 96, 88, 87, 80, 76, 74, 68, 66 and 60. You will see from the age profile that this type of life looks like it has lost its appeal. 

Weather: rainy; 3 degrees c; coat weather; nice day
