Went to a great Wedding on Saturday, the Bride and Groom are so lovely and such a sweet couple! We had a couple of German girls staying with us and we got on really well so it was a really good weekend. I even got to the play the violin in the service which was so much fun!
Came back Sunday afternoon in time for Highfields which was great - I'm really getting to know people now. One of the girls is moving house next Saturday so I'll be able to take a car load for her which should be fun!

Had a great weekend in Manchester catching up with Anna Buckley and Henna Wilson, they are both doing great! Anna is well on her way to becoming the world's best English/French Primary teacher and Henna achieved 349% of her targets at work but even so has exciting plans for the future which will mean a big change!
I had a nice time on Tuesday - at a Catherdral service - not usually my thing but I was invited and I thought - why not! It was a celebration of 10 years of women priests in Wales so it was full of women vicars - vicar of Dibley and all that! At the end of the service all the women vicars in their dog collars were 'processing' down the aisle to the last song of 'We are marching in the light of God' and they were literally dancing! We were all clapping along to the music and then when they'd finished they decided to go around again getting the men vicars and even the Bishops to join in the dancing - it was so unlike you imagine a cathedral service to be and it was so much fun! The preacher also said about how they'd come a long way as women but they still had a mountain to climb - a purple headed mountain! (Purple being the colour the bishops wear!) Well if it's right for women to be vicars then why not bishops - the Bible doesn't make a distinction - they didn't even have bishops in those days!

OK brief recap of my life in case you missed it! I spent 2 years on board the ship Doulos travelled around the Mediteranean, Africa, Middle East and Asia. Now I moved to Cardiff, Wales, UK and have a new job. I'm living in St Micheal's College and go to Highfields church and Cardiff Symphony Orchestra - check out the links.
