A little French sun…

Been in France with lovely husband and parents for the weekend. Was good fun, went to the beach and played football (so tiring!) and ate lots of french baked goods. Hmmm. We were staying in a little rural village called Rimboval and there were a ton of kittens on the farm opposite to ours… they were completely adorable. Also lots of calves and foals running about… I like the country feel.

Today (9th July) was also Phil and my second wedding anniversary! Hurrah! Well done us! We’ve had a great two years so far… here’s to many many more!

Two days before my interview..! Any ideas about what I should wear? Should I go for the conservative wifey look:

Or the ‘I’m cool and sexy, I’d be a great Baptist minister’ look:

Neither?! I was told something that I’m comfortable in, but not too casual. Hmmm. Any ideas..?

Moving and stress…

ARGH! I got back from South Africa yesterday afternoon, and Phil and I leave on Wednesday afternoon for Kent. We have so much packing to do, I can’t believe how much stuff we’ve managed to collect over the past year! Obviously the solution to this general stress and worry about how much we have to do is do sit and blog about it, as opposed to actually crack on with it! But its very cathartic! Anyway, if anyone knows how to shrink items, or make them disappear entirely and then reappear in Prague please let me know!

On a different note, things in South Africa went OK actually. My gran’s funeral was on Tuesday morning, and it was a beautiful moving ceremony. Although it is so sad that she is no longer with us, I know that she is at peace now. I can be thankful that I was able to enjoy so many happy years with her when I was a child. She was absolutely wonderful and such an inspiration! I feel most sympathy for my grandfather, as he sorely misses my gran. They were married for over 50 years, so its not hard to believe that it is difficult for him. As a family we have to try and support him in any way that we can. He is a man of few words though, so it can be hard to know how he is really feeling. I just hope and pray that he can know and experience God’s love and peace through all of this.

Right, back to packing..!
