Chocolate Paddle Pops, here we come!

It's been a while since the last post, but life has been freakishly busy as we continue with life here in England AND prepare for a flying visit back to Sydney!

We are in the really tortured position of not being able to spend more than about a week 'home'**** and therefore not being able to see everyone who we have missed so much in the past 2 years. It's remarkable that we HAVE been away for 2 years as time as sped by due to the busyness of the work here...and while we miss you, our friends, we have loved every minute of our time here so far. God has been true to His nature and very good. He has surrounded us with new church friends who have helped, encouraged and supported us all the way. It is our hope and prayers that we have honoured Him as well. It is no secret that we will be incredibly sad to leave Sherbornes with Pamber in due time.


And so it is that our emotions and thoughts are whirling around as we gear up for probably our final year in this parish, an uncertain 2009 and the very near reuniting with some our friends and family next week. The future? Watch this space...

Here is our list of things that we want to do whilst we are in Sydney (from 10-19th)
1. see friends
2. see friends
3, eat a paddle pop
4. eat fish and chips on a northern beach
5. see friends
6. covet the books at Kinokuniya
7. coffee at Bather's Balmoral (and for Cameron—just about everywhere else also)
8. eat Lebanese and Thai food until we sicken of it
9. stock up on Cherry Ripes, junket tablets and Violet Crumbles (there seems to be a recurring gluttony theme doesn't there?)
10. refresh our Orstryan accent



Because our time is so limited we hope that you will understand and forgive us if we don't get to spend much (or any) time with you. That will have to be our priority for next time...



****Or is it?
