So much has happened since I last blogged. I am feeling a bit rough - check out what I look like in the cartoon above ha ha! I am writing this blog from the beautifully cold town of Wick ... the hometown of Mary and the Flett clan! Yup, we are home now!
I am determined to write number of blogs this week informing you of the happenings at Sefton Village over the last few weeks. As you know, we had a team from Mattersey here and a week after they went home we hosted another team from Aberdeen AoG. We had a really fruitful time with them ... I will let you know about their trip tomorrow.
We had a nightmare trip home. Two hours in the check in counter and two hours on the tarmac in the plane! AAaagggghhh.... So hard for our two wee ones. We chased our tails all the way across the world and just made it on to the plane at Heathrow. Unfortunately, our trip to Terminal 5 lived up to its reputation! We are still waiting for one case to arrive!
We arrived back in Scotland on Friday ... FREEZIN! Ouch! People had told us it had been 23 degrees ..until Friday! What's going on?! Come on ... let's get some heat in this country! We had a great weekend with my family. So brilliant to meet my new little nephew David - a wee cutie! Great to catch up wit the Ritchie clan again.
On Sunday we went to Elim in morning and our friends Charlie & Chrissie shared about their recent trip to India. It was lovely to catch up with all our friends there. At night we went to Fraserburgh AoG where we met some old friends again. Brilliant day.
We took the road north to Wick yesterday. It is an absolute pleasure to drive on Scottish roads. I love it! So smooth and the scenery is breathtaking. And surprisingly there are no dogs, chickens, tricyles, jeepnies or clapped out buses on the road! Heaven...
It is wonderful for our kids to meet all their grannies, grandas, aunties, uncles and cousins again! It makes the trip worth it.
So I'm off to bed now. I have a really sore right ear but I think I will live! Blog soon ...
Sleep well ...
