As we trekked across the beautiful Tang Valley the nunnery was on top of a hill. A nunnery for older novices Exeter at 15 and have three years to prep pare for their exams. Exams sitting will be this week and the place was bustling with concentration. The chief older nun waited for us. Holding tight on to her life-long prayer beads and wheel she wanted to smile and accepted to have a picture taken. I took a few but this one expresses her gentle smile, a wrinkled smile of a happy mountaineer.
