The wonders of Keswick

Well hello there from the wilds and beauty of the Lake District!

This is a quick blog just to update in a vague way all of the stuff that has happened since I got here last Saturday!

So its now Tuesday of Wk 2-time really flies!! Allow me to summarise briefly what some of the highlights have been:
0Seeing all of the team again and spending a woderful week in their company

0Spending a week hanging out with awesome kids twice a day, getting to make friends with them, teach them from God's Word, do crafts with them and just generally sing and dance through each day!

0Leading a girl to faith in Christ. We had a talk one evening on "How do I become a Christian?" to which many children responded and got to talk and pray with one. :-)

0Being surrounded by the beauty of Creation and so many of God's people in one place is such an encouragement and I really look forward to it.

0Being able to see more of the awesome town of Keswick; the shops, the sights, the churches etc is great because I often regret not getting to see all that by the end of Wk 1

0Climbing Castlehead with Ruth and being able to look down over the whole of Derwentwater, which was an awesome view and totally breath taking!!

So, they are some of the highlights so far: right now I'm eating my second chocolate-covered chocolate skewer of the week and have just had my 3rd smoothie of the week!
We just had a big old meet up in Fitz Park of Wk 1 team who have stayed for Wk2 as "punters"! There was; me & Ruth, Esther & Katie, Becky, Helen B, Rose, Hannah, Ben, Jam & Ems (with Amelia), Harri, Zippy, Ellie and we were joined by Johnnny who is team for a second week! What a lovely afternoon!

The other major thing is the weather!!! It's been so hot, the tops of my shoulders got burnt when we were climbing!! We are so very lucky to have this brilliant weather to enjoy all that Keswick has to offer: the lake, the mountains, the parks etc!

Well I only have 15 mins of internet here, so I ought to head off. I'll probs do another blog when I get home (although I'm back to work on Monday) and add lots of pics hopefully!

Until then, have a great day. I hope it's a sunny one!

Departure in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.....

Hello peeps, I'm blogging on the move, how great is that? As my location suggests I'm at my dear friend Ruth's house and we travel up to Keswick this morning!

Am I ready? Yes, after a few travelling blips yesterday, I got here and all is well with life right now.

So, you may ask, how was the journey yesterday? Weelll it went fine eventually but there were a few issues shall we say. I'll give you a lil teaser for now: trees falling on the train line, cancelled trains, falling off of the tube, trains with missing drivers and signal failure!

Right Ruth needs to teach me how to use her shower and then we can proceed to a mammoth packing session of the car, followed by proceeding up the M6 in the POURING RAIN!!

On that note, the forecast for Keswick can be surmised in one word: RAIN!

Right that's it for now. Wish me a fun 2 weeks in the Lakes!

Loveage.
