A quick hello for Ayyam-i-Ha. These four days in the Baha’i calendar come between the penultimate month and the final month of the Baha’i year. They are a time for charity and celebration and immediately precede the month of fasting (19 days of fasting from sunrise to sunset) that leads up to Naw-Ruz, the Baha’i new year, on 21 March.

Erica and I are off to a family Ayyam-i-Ha party at the home of our son Tom and his wife Vicky in Northampton. We’ll be taking Hari, Doug and Jacob, and Alex, Charlie, Ethan and Emily will be there.

I’ve things stacking up to write in my blog, but time and tiredness have led me to be lazy! I’ve also got to write a short piece for the Commonwealth Day Observance in Westminster Abbey and four or five Pause for Thought scripts for BBC Radio 2.

More about all of the above later on.
