Quick (belated) update from our Easter weekend:
Twas a busy one even though we decided not to head off for the weekend. Jo was acting in two dramas on both the Good Friday and Easter Sunday services at church as well as singing in the Sunday night service, so while we were tempted by Catchy & Sarah's romantic exploring in the Lake District we tried to stay home :-)
After church on Friday we slept (midday, 3-hour nap!), shopped, and exercised. Saturday we met up with Pete and Emily Horlock, great friends from church, together with their sons, Sam and Noah (g'day guys) for a picnic at Tatton Park.
We've uploaded lots more photos so be sure to check them out too. We picnicked in Tatton Park's 1000 acres of beautiful parkland with millions of sun-burnt, English families, chased deer through rolling hills, laughed at sheep (who still had tails to wag), and generally wore Sam and Noah out.
After returning to Pete and Emily's the lads had dinner and baths while we grabbed some Thai and watched a movie. I can't tell you how nice it was to finally watch a movie with friends and eat some decent Thai food. Real blessing.
Sunday we had church in the morning and Easter dinner (lunch) with the James'. Sooooo good. We sat outside in the sun and had another fantastic afternoon with friends before grabbing a coffee and heading back to church.
The James' had invited us to share Monday with them at their house in northern Wales, so after a semi-sleep-in, we drove over and had a great walk around the surrounding area before lunch and then a longer walk up around some nearby lakes afterwards. See here for more photos of Wales.
With work on the Monday, we headed back home and fell asleep for most of the following week.
Praise God for a fantastic weekend (with one and a half sleep-ins).
(Sorry for the delay. I posted this as a draft and forgot about it...)

It's Snowing!
March has been a funny month for weather.
The start of the month saw some beautiful days of sunshine (even if it was still cold outside), but within a week it was freezing again, and, snowing.
I wait in eager expectation to bring out my sunglasses for the first time in 12 months.
I wonder where they are?
