Annual Photographic Exhibition

Here are a few photos from the exhibition today. You'll notice quite a few older faces- I'm nearly the youngest member. But they are such a young feeling group and very fun, I never notice the age difference really. They've become very good friends to me these past few years and I am blessed for persevering in attending 4 years ago (you may remember the difficulty of getting to know folks!)

Tonight is the time change here. We go from GMT 0:00 to GMT +1 01:00. It's called British Summer Time or BST. The days have been quite long already and I think it will be a hot summer- it has been very warm already!

The routine of life here is different from America. Kids are about to have 2 weeks off from school Apr 3-17 for Easter Holidays. It's like having a 2 week vacation at the end of each semester. Anyway term end affects everyone everywhere because travel prices go up, parents have to take time off school, lots of middle class families go to France or Italy where it's warmer, or visit grandparents.

Did you know that kids here call their grandmas "Nan" instead of Grandma? I don't know what they call grandpas, but it isn't the same either! :)

This weekend is the iHUB (international ministry) retreat, pr that lots of internationals would hear about JC and want to follow him. Also pr for my business friends to be curious about JC. Last night I went bowling with a big group of them, here are some photos!

Spring in Cambridge


Spring has finally made it here- the flowers are all blooming, birds are nesting and soon trees will be in leaf. Lots to do in the garden, bed prep, weed killing, winter cleanup.I did a hard prune back in the fall but the garden was overgrown so still more to do.

My new little kittens are settling in well, making a cat tree for them has been fun. :) I've been doing some concrete demolition, a badly done shed base- Bashing it all up, removing the pieces, then next will be digging the dirt down and putting in pea gravel and sand. Fun fun!

Quite a few bumps along the road this week but finally better. I'm glad its spring!
