"Under the Carob Tree" is a renamed blog. Formerly "Letters from Corner Brook", a chronicle of my time in Newfoundland, it's become an ongoing reflection place, separate from the sermons in the blog "Fran's Musings" (frannyharp.blogspot.com)
Norio and I travel a lot these days. We are at that stage where we do have the time and the finances. One of the places we go every year is the village of Moncarapacho in Portugal, just outside Olhao, and close to the sea. We rent a beautiful villa, and do a lot of strenuous resting beside the pool. A favourite spot of mine is a corner beside the bar, in the shade under the huge carob tree. I sat there almost every day for two weeks this year, reading books and starting to get serious about blogging.
So here we go - reflections on travel, life, work, theology - whatever comes to mind. Hopefully from time to time there might be something which speaks to you.
