England's Pastures Green

Flying to the Uk to work, changed into a layover on my way to Israel!! So with very little time in hand i raced around visiting friends in Burford, walking through the graveyard of the Anglican Church, visiting the old homestead on Wysdom Way and having tea with the Longs. I also got see good ol' jo po (who managed to drive to Burford bless her!) who i am happy to say has not changed in essentials- still loves the Lord :) yai
Mr Michael took us on a grand tour of Oxford and some of the Uni's, he's so blessed to study there! (His Library is soo cool- although the floorboards creak and that would drive me crazy!! :) And a visit to the UK would not have been the same if it wasn't for the Zeiglers- it was so nice to see them again, and chat in their garden- still as lovely as ever! ....and thank you sooo much for taking me in!
I went to the Burford Baptist Church where i had grown up, its a lot smaller now, but all the lovely ladies still loyally attend week after week- and it was fantastic to see dear Edith and Gill again, and Jean brought me up to speed on all the 'goings down' with the church's refurbishment and it looks hopeful that the church will have a bigger role in the community in the future which of course would be beneficial for all.
An absolute highlight was taking that bike ride with Felicity through the surrounding villages picking berries at will!!!! Praise the Lord! Deedalee ☺
