back home

Finally back home after a long round trip via motherwell, crieff, edinburgh, cardiff, london, ramsgate... It was great to see all our coworkers at the GLO Retreat and catch up on all that God is doing throughout Europe. Then we went to Edinburgh and stayed with Grant & Karen who kindly opened their home to the five of us. We had a great few days and Benjamin was able to see Napier Uni as he would like to study sports science and quite probably in Scotland. We were even able to catch up with friends we worked with in Marseille. Paul & Isobel were just back from their son's Scotts wedding ( which Sébastien went to).
I was able to travel down to Cardiff and spend a weekend with Alison's commending church Leckwith. Keith & Sheila really spoilt me during my stay with them. It was so good to meet up with friends that have faithfully supported us during our 22 years in France.
Next stop Ramsgate and a couple of days with my Mum who had a few jobs for me to do in the house. My nephew Denison and his Mum and stepdad came over for coffee. It was great to be able to speak to Denison and hear from him how he has been coping with such difficult circomstances. He has his own web page with "His story" on line to raise money for cancer research, it was very moving to read and we continue to pray for him.
Back to piles of post so I'll sign off now
