Sunny Saturday


We found a house!!! The catch is we can't move in for another week. Oh well, there is a light at the end of the tunnel so I can just count down the days.

Today was a beautiful day. It was sunny and about 73 degrees. We walked all morning along the shore and had lunch at a lovely cafe. They serve pasties and jacket potatoes. Pasties are pastry stuffed with various fillings- chicken and veggies or maybe feta and spinach. Jacket potatoes are just baked potatoes in their skin. Isn't that such a cute name? Potatoes in their jackets! Some of the kids had fish tiddlers- little fish cakes. That name cracks me up.

Since it was so warm (for England) we brought the kids back to the beach in their suits in the early evening. It makes me happy to watch them run on the beach, play in the tide pools and collect rocks. Those are the simple kinds of things I have been looking forward to.

Hope you are having a good weekend. I cannot tell you how much your thoughts and prayers are helping.

  2. Great news about the house. We've been praying for that to happen. What an adorable picture of the kids playing at the beach. Sounds like things are starting to turn around and you can finally get everyone on a schedule. We'll be thinking of you during the SAINTS' game. By the away, LSU won. Hugs and Kisses to everyone, Love, Grammy and Pops

  5. You go Girl!!! That sounds like so much fun. Would you have imagined you would so live such an adventure when you were younger? I admire you. I love reading your blogs and I have signed up to receive updates. Thanks so much for sharing. This is probably as close as I will get to the UK. Your family is beautiful and you are definitely in my prayers. Best of luck.

  6. Congrats on your new house! I guess by now you already moved in. I'm so envious of your family's adventure. The terrace sounds wonderful. I can picture you and your family sitting outside enjoying the calm, nice breeze while learning something interesting. Take Care!
