This Never Happens

Just checked the weather on the BBC for Cambridge and saw a real rarity in the UK, particularly for April:

… before we get carried away, let’s just remember it’s a forecast and not reality yet….

… having said that, it’s a beautiful morning with not a cloud to be seen.

Somerset & Devon

Just come back from a week in Somerset and Devon. These are counties down in southwest England about 4 hours’ drive away. We attended a fantastic wedding on Easter Saturday and were adopted by a couple from the church where the wedding was held. We were thinking of camping for a few days down there to explore the beautiful coast and this couple wouldn’t hear of it, offering us a room in their house for as many days as we wanted to stay.

We spent the days walking and exloring the villages and coast of this beautiful part of England. The weather starting grim but turned out to be gorgeous by the end of the week – perfect for long rambles along clifftops. In fact, one day, it was so nice, we did actually camp by the River Lyn in Devon.

Here are some pics.

Advent Delight

This morning was John’s turn to open the advent calendar (as we always share one) and he opened it to find the tiniest nativity I have ever seen- a chocolate nativity…. how cute is that!
