The travellers return

It seems a while since our last post doesn’t it?!
After managing to get to the last hour of the Dalesdown prayer day last Thursday, and having a chat with our lovely administrator – Pete, we then went to stay with our friends Mike and Judi Southcombe. (We stay there so often we are now honorary Southcombes!)
The next day (Friday) we flew out to Ireland where we were due to work with Holywood Parish Church in Belfast. We trained all day on Saturday, led the family service on Sunday morning and popped into two other services to show what we we up to(!) We then went into two local schools on Monday Morning, before flying back to Gatwick in the afternoon.
We had a lovely time in Holywood – the hospitality was amazing….we had been warned, but it still took us by surprise. Many thanks to Sharon and Peter for your many encouragements, inspiration and hospitality – we have both come home physically heavier but very encouraged!
From Gatwick we went straight back to Dalesdown, just in time for a Camps debrief meeting that evening. The next day we had a management group meeting for Children Worldwide – it was long but profitable. After a minor detour to Scripture union offices on the way, we arrived home on Wednesday afternoon.
There now follows a couple of days of paperwork, and our first weekend off in weeks!
