Thursday 26th July 2012

Just got back from Sussex after a bit of a nightmarish drive. Our trusty car is making groaning noises, and it scared us all. George said he’s never getting in the car again. Other than the anxiety over whether we would actually get home at all, it was a pleasant journey on a beautiful night. It’s now 12.30am, and I’m not going to spend long here on the blog…I’m up early to go and have a prayer meeting/Bible study session with Philip.

Actually, it’s a busy day tomorrow. I am doing lots, and the day finishes on a high as we walk round to Jez and Ally’s to watch the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics…along with a curry and a few (non-alcoholic) drinks with all the children.

I do hope the weather stays decent for this event…it was so wonderfully bright and beautiful over the past four days, wasn’t it?

I am so grateful to Nigel for providing such a lovely opportunity for a short break like this, and – of course – to Ashleigh for the loan of her beautiful home and gardens. We had an amazing time. A real break for all of us.

Must go…the sandman beckons again.

God bless,

David
