so long between the white smoke and the announcement because they were consulting everything they could think of to see if Francis was allowed - or did they have to wait while someone found the right sized robes? He's quite a large chap. Husband, who wasn't really watching the television coverage, of course, was getting quite cross every time he commentators mis-translated 'Habemus papem' as 'a pope has been chosen'. One does, however, feel a glimmer of hope that this is a change for the better for the Catholic church, though perhaps not being a Catholic I'm not qualified to comment. Anyway, it's a beautiful day today, perfect for new start.
Thank you! I love reading your comments and even though I don't always have time to reply I am really grateful to every one who joins in the conversation.

It all went 'whoosh' over my head, did you hear it?
