[Magdalen] Meatless, but definitely NOT penitential

[Marion Thompson]

  Our group of four goes out for a pint after running the Food Bank on 
Tuesdays and they are all giving up alcohol for Lent and one who is 
vegetarian is going vegan.   They've already said they'll sit and watch 
me.  I used to do all this so strictly and am now an elderly backslider. :-(
