Back home

Back in Guernsey, we were met at the airport by dear Wendy with a 'care package' of groceries and a meal ready for tired and hungry travellers. So thoughtful, like Renee, her dear mother. Rosanne (Wendy's daughter) was on our flight from Gatwick and had texted her mother, so Wendy was forewarned. Blown away by her love, so blessed. And our dear friend from our home group was there to meet us and take us home...

We then endured two days of torrential rain which lasted, on one of the days, the whole day. Summer in Guernsey = winter in New Zealand. Fortunately, the sun has now come out, the grass has dried off and we are able to get out and about again.

In the meantime: jet lag got over, unpacking completed, washing done, tidying up begun, emails caught up on....

And today: dog walk, swim, cycle to church, cycle up the hill to Fermain, cycle all the way down to Fermain Bay then push the bike all the way up again....

....for a lovely long catch-up lunch with these dear friends:
Ruth, Wendy, Graham, Nicholas...only missing dearest Renee.
