Half Time: Reflections

Two months ago today, we had our bags packed and were just about ready to leave Chiang Mai.  Two months from now, the same suitcases will be out again, and we'll be wrestling once again with weight allowances and how to pack enough toys to keep Chloe entertained on a 12 hour flight.  So what will we be remembering from the first half of our Home Assignment?

1. Significant family moments

There have been many - from Pete's brother's wedding (above) to Chloe's dedication (below).  Chloe's first steps; family birthdays; days out.  It's great to be able to celebrate these things in the same time zone!

2. Impressive scenery  

Framlingham Castle, Suffolk

We've visited some Great British sights - castles (above) and beaches (below).

3. Encouraging church visits

We've visited three of our supporting church groups so far.  It's amazing to walk into a church building and find a notice board covered in the photos we've sent from Thailand - people really do pray for us!  And one fun thing that's happening this time - Abigail and Jacob helping to explain to other children about life in Thailand!

Time now for a very British cup of tea - and a refreshing half-time orange.
