I know I haven't written much, it's taken so long to put the pics on that I haven't been too bothered to write much, but I think the pictures speak for themselves.
We arrived in Manchester at 7.30am ish on Friday morning, Dad & Sue came to pick us up, which was nice, I have to admit to being fairly out of it the whole way home. We got a 2 hr nap then went to meet Mum in Yarm for lunch before doing some grocery shopping. Then we got home unpacked properly and ordered chinese takeaway then went to bed and slept for a good 12hrs!
Saturday was fun when we went to Fountains Abbey, I have posted a couple pictures below, which are a select few from the many beautiful sights you can see there, don't worry we took LOADS of pictures to show people. Then Saturday night we had another quiet night in.
Sunday was Church. I was very blessed to be able to speak in the 10.30am and 6.30pm services. It was really great to be able to share with this church family, that I miss so much, all the exciting things that God is doing in Saskatoon and our YFC office. In the middle of that Mum made a DELECTABLE PROPER english roast beef dinner with roasties and yorkshire puds with veg.... YUMMY DOES NOT DESCRIBE IT!!!!
Today we got to spend some time with Mary who is a family friend, we sat and chatted before she had to leave. Then we went to Stockton with Sue to do some shopping for Lindsay, then we came home and took Millie for a walk around Egglescliffe (pics below). Tonight we met up with some friends at our local The Pav (The Pavilion). Which was really fun, I have NEVER known a night go so fast (except our wedding reception). Pics will follow soon.
The next week will mainly be taken up by family and by best friend Hannah. I can't express how excited I am to have this time with Hannah, she truly is a woman wholeheartedly seeking God, and I love going through this journey with her, I am so bless that she is in my life.
My big brother is arriving from Ireland next Monday, and he's bringing my nephew! WOOHOO! On a sad note he has to leave my sister-in-law behind, which really is awful because she is the life and soul of ANY party, I love her so much, but she has to work. BUT I WILL HAVE 3 DAYS WITH MY NEPHEW BEN, and if someone offered me a billion £'s not to see him for those 3 days I would scoff at the piddling offer, the time I will spend with him is PRICELESS!!! He is SO ADORABLE! With his cute little irish accent, and his Daddy's eyes but his mummys body language, SO CUTE! Not that I am biased or anything. I CAN NOT WAIT!
For the first time ever I am feeling homesick here, and at the same time scared to leave this place. So a few 'I miss you's to: T, Allison & baby, Joy, Dawn & baby, Dawn R, Lisa, my MSN work buddy Melissa T, Kristin 'you are my sanity' and my other YFC work buddies... I hadn't realised how used I was to frequently having your input in my life until I had the prospect of 2 weeks without you, you are huge blessings that God has placed in my life. Sorry boys that you don't really get a mention but these ladies are the ones who keep me accountable and sane;-)
I promise to keep putting pics on so watch this space!
