Apologies for a very slack week of blogging. Things have been real busy and have gone from fun to homesick to fun again in the course of a few days.

Wednesday night Mark, Zoe and my Mum and Dad came over ready for the Vineyard South West Regional day - for people planting churches in that area. It was great to see them and have some catch-up time though, as usual, it didn't last long enough.

In the evening I started a Fusion small group at 419 Gloucester Rd. It was fun hanging out, looking at what we are about as a group, eating Jaffa Cakes, and hanging out some more.

Friday night our new band got together to practise, jam and prepare some songs for Sunday morning. It was really good fun - they're a great bunch and I'm sure we'll have a really enjoyable year.

Saturday was downtime, a chance to do very little and really enjoy just being.

Yesterday after the morning service we went to The Wellington on Gloucester Road for their Sunday roast. I had the veggie option which included a quarter of a butternut squash with melted cheese and tomato slices. Very tasty. Don't you just love root vegetables!
