west side!

Tuscany is beautiful. We are enjoying a very restful week at Harriet’s parent’s house on the west coast of Italy about 2 hours north of Roma, listening to the birds chirp, taking walks, eating enormous amounts of healthy Italian food and spending time with each other. All very exiciting. Want to buy a place. Donors, please!

Its amazing what being away from the hustle and bustle of a major city can do for you! Here are a few photos from our trip so far.

Spring… apparently

So apparently, its that time of the year… when the birds start chiping, sun warms the frozen ground, flower start to bloom, and the temperature move above freezing. Not so in London. Its frikkin freezing!!! (as they say)

As I type, my hands are stifffening, the temperature at the workplace again below 50 F. Well… not quite, but it is freezing. Isnt it always when its the coldest that the heating packs up??? :)

H and I are off to Italy for some time with the Italian parents. I am looking forward to the peace and quiet of the country side. Definitely will give me time to rest and think! We cannot wait. Anyhow, be on the lookout for some new photo albums. Soon!

Word on the street

Big news which is now public -

We are moving to CH. We feel the Lord calling us out of England. What we will be doing, is still to be worked out in detail. Let’s just say that God has given us a vision which goes far beyond us and what we can do on our own! How will we move? Probably with recommended removalists - potentially with a rental van - LOTS of miles… but perhaps cheaper in the long run… :s When are we moving? May. Why - yes, I agree, everything says stay - secure jobs, lots of money saved every month, a growing church family, lots of deep friendships, pension plan, great city etc etc etc…. in a few words - God said so. How do I know? Because you know.

All this to say that although we will dearly miss our family we are EXTREMELY excited at the prospects and cannot wait to meet this new challenge God has planned for us! Loving and following God is by far the most exciting life on earth!
