Summer days and saying goodbye

As you know from the last blog post, I gave myself the task to lead lent group about Mary. I have been doing my research about her, and have really enjoyed getting to know her better, and to be able to work out how to organise the evening, with some help from one of the ladies.
I think that this will help some people at church to see me as an adult, and I have proved to myself that I can still be academic, to present things, and that I can finish my degree.
This weekend I also made blue fairy cakes with some of the kids from church and dan, to take to lent group. Any excuse to eat cake! I always thought that young children didn't like me much, but they all were lovely. I get now that kids at that age are fickle to a certain extent. When you focus your attention on them, and do something they want to do, they are angels. When you aren't, they just don't focus all their attention on you. I don't think it's a matter of them not liking me.
Sunday, Dad planned a 6 mile walk, and luckily the weather co-operated and was gorgeous. I always loved walking ever since I was a kid, and it was good to stretch my legs. After we stopped for lunch, we were going up a steep hill. I powered up the hill, and I think that all this exercise is proving that I'm getting fitter as well.

This was her getting through the window,
because she left her keys in the house... :P 

Last, but by no means least, one of my close friends from church is leaving and going to Mumbai! I found out yesterday, and she's leaving Tuesday! I am seriously going to miss her loads. We always have so much to talk about, whether it's Harry Potter, blokes, films, or serious things,  it was always so much fun.
I am planning to go visit her at some point in the summer, before September, now I just have to find the money!
I wish her the very best of luck, and I will be thinking of her x
