Today was the feast of St John of Capistrano (1386-1456). He was an Italian Franciscan priest famous for his preaching and was nicknamed the ‘soldier Saint’. This nickname relates to him leading a crusade at the age of 70.

I have been recently watching Ewan Macgregor’s programme, “The History of the World in a Hundred Objects”. The last object he looked at was the solar panel. Perhaps as a result of watching this programme, I had a dream about solar panels. It struck me that indeed this is the way forward, incentivising people in a small way to fit solar panels.

It’s strange that we appear to be going back to where we started, to a kind of sun worship.
