Hilary Sidwell attended a lively Ireland Yearly Meeting

by Hilary Sidwell 4th May 2012

The words of ‘Guide me, Oh Thou great Jehovah’, in Irish translation, resonated round the hall as we sang with gusto, if not great linguistic accuracy! Richard Harrison, our translator, was forgiving. Children’s voices and laughter intermingled. At times of silence the trill of a blackbird filtered through an open window along with momentary beams of sunshine.
