Well I've spent 3 & 1/2 weeks in England & got back to Kosove last Monday evening. I left the UK in sunshine & heat, wearing a t-shirt & sunglasses & landed in Kosove needing a jacket & definitely not wearing sunglasses! (it's better now, though!!)
I was thoroughly spoilt during my UK stay with dad cooking dinner for me every night, as well as many trips out - Borough market, Woburn safari park, lots of garden centres, Wisley etc. Actually this was the first time I had seen Wisley in spring/summer - full of bloom, a colourful riot, fragrant etc. For those not in the know Wisley is the Royal Horticultural Society garden & is the most beautiful place especially on a wonderful warm spring afternoon, well worth a visit.
My 'home' church, St Barnabas, is amazing - the summer 'community fun day' was very much that - a fun day. As well as the usual stalls there was a visiting farm in the vicarage garden! Sheep, goats, pigs & ducks were well behaved in their pen, happily munching the grass & being very fed by the children whilst the rabbits & guineapig kept escaping! Who needs a lawn mower when you have goats, eh!
Last Sunday 7 people were confirmed & they all wrote their story of how they came to confirmation. I started to read the sheet of paper with their stories on before the service began & had to dash to the loo for toilet paper as tears of joy couldn't be held in! What a day!
Thanks everyone for making my stay in the UK so wonderful & restful. Now back to work.......
