It’s been a varied one, this week. So much so that it’s tricky to summarise, so much so that I can’t quite get my head around the fact it’s Friday already!!
On Monday we left Wandsworth nice and early and battled our way throug the marauding commuters. Armed with tea we caught a train up to Liverpool, we spent the journey planning and thinking about some of the events and stuff that are coming up in the next couple of months, so it was a useful time. Upon arrival we ate lunch, which was welcome, and got settled into our lovely pink room.
We spent the afternoon just chatting and praying together, which was great. Then we went to pizza hut. Afterwards we went home and sat up till late drinking tea and working on a few more ideas.
On Tuesday we again spent the day thinking and praying and listening. We had birthday cake, which was a high point. It felt quite intense to spend the whole day thinking, but it was all quite inspiring!!
Wednesday was very cool, we woke up, had breakfast and then had some hours to kill before it was time to catch the train home. So we went into Liverpool city centre and just pootled around for a bit. We looked for some presents for people at home, and then had a yummy coffee. Then we walked up a street where there was a lovely art shop – I could have spent a lot of time in there. On the same street there was a brilliant Fair trade shop, so we wandered round that for quite a while too. Then it was time to get the train home.
It was quite odd to be back in Wandsworth, and we had to run straight out again to a Fair Trade food and wine tasting eve (we stayed off the wine!!). It was a good eve although I felt a little absent and disorientated.
Thursday was back to work and my attempt to wade through piles of emails and paperwork. It was an ok day.
Today I have been taking it easy this morning, but have a busy afternoon, with Womens World Day of Prayer, an appointment, and then a trip to Canterbury and an impromptu baby shower… should be cool!!
