Hello to everyone. Its been a very busy Autumn term so far and it isn't over yet. Never got down South to see anybody over the half term as we simply had so much to do up here. Denise and myself have been helping out more with church based activities; I'm helping out on an Alpha course at the vicarage every Thursday evening;Denise goes to a
ladies only,Wednesday evening, church group and we both do a Bible study group every other Tuesday at our house and a friends (alternate weeks) , along with all our school activities and toddler groups we are flat out. On the final weekend of half term my very good friend Benn Mugisha from Kware in Kenya and a new friend Bronnie came to stay with us for a few days to visit my school and children to thank them for the money they raised for his charity
St Thomas Handshake to Kware (£1000). www.handshaketokware.co.uk (check out the web site).
It was great to see Benn after three years and to be updated on all the latest news and work that is going on out in Kware. I'm going to add the pictures of how we raised the money later( left my pen drive at school!!!). Needless to say it involved pain(leg waxing), ritual humiliation(dressing up and parading down a cat walk in rubbish-'A Trashion Show') and a great deal of fun and laughter. The children are fired up and want to raise loads more for Kware. And we want to go out there and see everthing and meet the wonderful people and children for ourselves.
We finished this week with a fantastic bonfire and fiework display down in the park in Selby. A lovely crisp cold night, a tray of chips and all the family together enjoying the entertainment-the big children Eren and Aaron still enjoy a sparkler and a firework display not to mention Denise's Pea and ham soup before we set off which totally stuffed Aaron and myself.
10.11.10- now got my pen drive so enjoy the pictures above.
