I awoke this morning, not so very late, and thought I must get up for church. I realised that I may not actually get to church as a physical being, and thought that maybe ‘YouTube ‘ might fit the bill. It did. There I was, singing my little heart out, and praying for all my worth – including a prayer for John, who is on the prayer list, and whom I love so dearly.
And then it was a sprint on with the ironing, which had been beckoning for a day or two, before a shower and a trip over to the Kenilworth Sleaths for lunch.
Oh, my. What a wonderful feast. Sunday lunch at Park Hill. Delicious. And another oh my, how wonderful to be in the company of both the Kenilworth Sleaths and the Suttons Sleaths all in one place. We were in our element. Fabulous food; an amazing Sunday roast by chef Paul; great company because most of us were there; and a Pouilly Fume wine, courtesy of the Chapmans in Australia. Yes, marvellous, because nearly all of us were there.
We ate, drank, played and chatted. The Sutton Sleaths left before we did, and then the rest of us sat and nattered for a few more hours in the Kenilworth Sleaths’ sitting room where we enjoyed an all-surround view of trees, and birds and butterflies. It was lovely. To be honest, I was loath to move. I could have stayed there a lot longer, but our own home and bed eventually called.
So we came home, ate cheese and crackers and made our way to bed. Very contented. I love my family. And cheers to the Chapmans in Australia whom we miss very much and wish we could chit-chat to more often face-to-face.
Finally, I leave you with the beautiful bouquet of flowers Michael gave me today. I was overwhelmed, it was so very unexpected. Nice, eh? Gerberas….one of my favourites…. reminds me of my wedding day.
Blessings to you all. May all your hopes and aspirations come to fruition. Our day was full of soul food – I hope yours was too.
