like favourite summer clothes after a long winter
To be here...England, Sheffield, with these people dear to my heart...the ease at coming back is unreal, like I never left, though things have changed and life rolled on. I've easily picked up and carried on with the relationships here. So strange to me...why so easy here? Perhaps because I am only visiting here. Perhaps because who I am here revives when I am here, and lies dormant everywhere else. Interesting...Rundown of the last 3 days...
Saturday...rainy and sunny
arrived Manchester 10am, met by Iranian friends and their darling baby
drove through Snake Pass in the Peak District, heart nearly stopped at the beauty
came to Bodes, unpacked a bit
went charity-shop shopping with Anna and Judith (got some great scarves!)
dinner at Bodes with Chesters (minus Tim)
watching Veggie Tales, I fell asleep
Sunday....rainy and sunny
went to TCH Sharrowvale, surprised several people
lunch at Stovells, Gospel chats with Andy and Anna
TCH Sharrow! Singing, talking, learning, hugs...wonderful time of family togetherness
Monday...rainy and sunny
slept in :-) prayer meeting and lunch
went to Mt Pleasant Park with Fiona, Gospel chats and coffee, but rain chased us back inside
walked up to Chesters with Phil and Janelle for BBQ and Gospel Chats
Monday night hangout with People Up-at Bodes, and Gospel Chats
...
Tea is fantastic
Toast is lovely
Love the rain...it tipped it down yesterday
Almost got hit by a car...forgot which way to look when crossing
Enjoying the cultures, accents and variety
Must sign off, much too much to do to sit at a computer all day!
T'ra Duck!
