Holiday Highlights

Still got a couple of days of holiday left, but here are a few highlights...


A little star at Willows Farm Village.


On Tristan the Tractor


Walking at the Welsh Harp


As I have my boots on I will jump in this puddle


What do you mean, 'I need a licence'?


A food break at Woburn Safari Park


A belated second birthday party.


My holiday games record: Carcassonne - won. Settlers of Catan - lost. Ticket to Ride - Lost.


And our new game - Ingenious - won.

Garden Update 2

As you will see from the photo the raspberries are doing well - although one of the nine plants which were transplanted has apparently died.

Today I finally got around to planting some other seeds - sweet corn, cherry tomotoes and courgettes. I use individual pots made out of strips of old newspaper, so that when ready they can be planted straight into the ground without the need to transplant the little seedlings.

I also bought a variety of lettuces, red onions and carrots - which will all be planted directly in a few weeks time.

Watch this space to see what grows.

Happy Easter

Easter Sunday has arrived - and it makes all the difference. It made all the difference to the disciples who had just lived through the worst hours of their lives, and it can make all the difference to us, two thousand years later. The truth that Jesus is alive makes a world of difference. It means a world where we can know love, forgiveness, peace. It means we live in a world where God is able to transform even the most hopeless of situations. It means we live in a world where even death does not have the final word - we live with the hope and the promise of resurrection. We can know life in all its fullness - now and in the future.
