Jester and me


This one got missed of the previous post - still haven't got the hang of what to do!!!



Come to England and see the beautiful bluebell woods in April. There's nothing quite like it anywhere else in the world and the scent is the best perfume for free!

















Jester and I enjoying a walk in the bluebell woods.
Aren't we lucky they are less than five minutes walk from where we live.

Happy Easter

Jack, Katie and Ella each made an Easter table decoration at Sunday School last week. I though they were very attractive. It reminded me to wish everyone a very Happy Easter holiday and to remember the real significance of our celebrations.

Read 1 Corinthians 1 vv 18. Love Wendy

Ray and I at Center Parcs last spring. The daffodils are all up now this year and we're just waiting for the first ones to burst into flower. We've got loads of snowdrops in our garden and we saw loads when we were out walking today. It was really warm and sunny about 12 degs I guess which isn't bad for February.

Hi there all you family bloggers



Feel like a new girl at school - not sure exactly what I'm doing, so much to learn but as the rest of the family seem at home with the process....... here goes........ in at the deep end!


This Ray and I in Xi'an in October 08 when we went to visit Rob, Grace and our new grandson Freddie. We had a lovely holiday and it was great to spend quality time with them all. They all looked so well especially Freddie, and Grace and Rob are really enjoying being parents for the first time and making a good job of it! Pictures of Freddie next time.
