“The FWBO in San Francisco had a new centre which included a men’s community on one floor and a women’s community on another floor. It is a very spacious place … The centre is situated in what is called the Mission district, the mission being the original Catholic mission of the Franciscan fathers. The area did rather remind me of Notting Hill.”
