On Easter Sunday 2017, with the retirement of the Vicar, the
Benefice of Lanercost with Walton, Gilsland and Nether Denton
entered a period of vacancy which lasted for over a year and a
half. During this time, regular services were maintained, albeit
with a little shaving of corners here and there. The author, a
Reader in the Benefice, was one of a team of people leading
services and preaching on a regular basis. The contents of this
book provide a record of the vacancy in the form of sermons and
reflections. The title is prompted by the phenomenon of `the
flowering desert,' which occurs every ten years or so in the north
of Chile, when unusually copious rainfall at the end of winter
causes the arid semi-desert terrain to bring forth flowers in
profusion. Cover photograph by Paul Bamford
