Friday Hoydens: Snowfighting Nuns

Nunsense

While one cannot deny that becoming a nun resigns control of large chunks of one’s life to a very rigid hierarchy, nuns do have a history of hoydening with glee at the least opportunity.

It was quite surreal, and infectiously joyful. I scrabbled around in my handbag for my camera, but I couldn’t get to it in time, alas.

Deborah, I love the mental picture of those gleeful peddling nuns.
