God is not only a theme in theological books; many other authors also repeatedly address him in secular literature. Giovanni Guareschi, with his "invention" of Don Camillo, who converses with the crucified Christ at the high altar, is a very prominent example of this. Even in many crime novels, monks or priests are woven into the plots and naturally bring a spiritual perspective on God and humanity. This is also the case several times in the crime series about the "Healer of Canterbury," published under the pseudonym Celia L. Grace, which the author has set in 15th-century England. In one of these stories, titled "The Poisoners' Feast," Father Clement (the local priest of a village plagued by a series of murders) speaks generally about his parishioners: "May the Lord have mercy on us all. They are good people, they are generous, they attend Mass, they try to live good lives, it's just..." he peered into the darkness. "It's as if things go wrong because they go wrong, Mistress. That's what Augustine said, wasn't it? We want God, we pursue what is good, but we are never in balance with ourselves, not with our neighbors, not with the world, and not with God." (Celia L. Grace, "The Poisoners' Feast") Perhaps a brief rest before this small sacred monument offers those lingering here the opportunity to regain a little more balance with themselves, with their neighbors and the rest of the world, but above all with God—the Lord of heaven and earth.

Find some narrowboats in various state of repair moored. A path has been cleared, so passage is easily possible.

A lot of the paths through the top of Brackmills Country Park are quite hidden and often just grass so take care on wet or muddy days, but they're great to ride on a hot sunny day as the trees provide shade and there are some great views over the industrial buildings all the way to the National Lift Tower and beyond.

Might be worth preparing yourself for all the nettles as i'm still feeling the sting 6 hours later. Wear some joggers as the bottom section is overgrown and hanging into the path, there are also a few brambles to negotiate but it's pretty much all downhill and there are some nice rooty sections to get a bit more technical.

look out for the field of ponies to the right, if you're lucky you may just see the latest members of the herd. On a hot day you'll see the little ones lounging around.
