We visited Tattenhall market for some homemade goodies and stopped on the way home for creak tea at Tarporley! Great day.

Sorry no pictures this time.

... a magazine about canals!. Late afternoon we went to an open air service at St Michaels. Henry and Lin came round for drinks later. Thu 17th September Early morning meeting to start the day, as on all eight days of the mission, and we led the short time of worship each time. We were thankful to have the use of the Guide Hut just by the canal. We met Colin and Lorraine Brown who were passing by in a borrowed BCF boat.

V was unreal - so so many of my faves were there, James Morrison, definitely the highlight, though The Script, Lily Allen, Fat Boy Slim, Pete Murray, Natalie Imbrulia, Snow Patrol, Oasis & The Killers definetly make the ...

After Thelma's distressing move to Rotherham it seemed really unfair to have to take her back to Loggerheads for her injections.............but needs must!

Thelma has found the transition really difficult and has spent several days behind the kitchen units or hidden under a bed, and is only now beginning to relax a little and come for a quick fuss after the children have gone to bed.

Grandma planned the military operation well and managed ...

What a wonderful day for Lucy and Dan to have a few of their friends over.

We hired a bouncy castle for the day, provided a party lunch outside on the patio and the kids were over the moon. They were with us for 5 hours and were not a spot of trouble. It was great to see everyone so happy, squealing and ...

I know I haven't gone yet but I am just so excited now... Hannah & I are going for some hill walking this weekend (along with a sturdy amount of alcohol) & then shopping to complete the list of stuff I need to squeeze into my rucksack. : ) Well that's it for now... 29 sleeps to go...
