With Perth Fortress Songsters in Scotland

Hello to you all,

What a great time we had in Kilmarnock with Perth Fortress Songsters. The music was well chosen and well presented. Everything was well organised and went smoothly. The devotional meetings were inspirational and we were thoroughly encouraged. Even the weather was good.

It was great to be able to share with the friends we have already made in Perth and we were certainly made to feel right at home amongst them. Let's hope the house is sold soon and the visa is granted so that we can share with them all on a regular basis.

Having shared in a tremendous weekend, Joanna, Paul, Morgan and John and myself travelled to Manchester (and that's a greater distance than you realise!). We had a good day's shopping at the Trafford Centre and I was able to make great inroads into Christmas present shopping - very necessary as we leave for a two month trip "down-under" in November.

Morgan was an aboslute delight - well behaved, entertaining and both sleeping and eating well (just like his Grandpa!!) Hopefully you will enjoy the short video of Morgan included here.

Arriving home we had a sudden rush of house guests. Helen and Derek were here from Thusday evening until Saturday morning and we shared in lots of good fun and fellowship then on Sunday Sandra and Brian joined us for lunch and again we had a lovely time together.

So now it's back to a normal routine - but at least we are enjoying some beautiful sunshine today, which is absolutely lovely.

All for now.

Bye.
