Random thoughts on travel


I was a bit baffled when looking at this label. Really? This is what I would be getting when asking for a flapjack in the UK?



This lovely church, St, Georges in Leeds, is an old church with beautiful stain class windows. On Sunday evenings though, there is a very modern group of singers on the "stage." The song might be an old hymn or a contemporary worship song. The message is always about loving God and the city where we are. My last two Sundays at this church have truly been a blessing!



Can you see the rain drops? The gray sky? Yes, it is a bit depressing when it is accompanied with cold weather. This morning it is 52 degrees here. I have had handful of partly sunny days while here, but a few more are forcasted before I leave for home. Carrying an umbrella with me has truly become a necessity.


At home I don't really have any hills. Here I cannot avoid them. The other day (when it was not raining) walked to meet my daughter's friend. All the way there, well almost, it was downhill. On the way back, however, it was all uphill. Needless to say, I could soon walk up a bigger hill (or do they call that a mountain)!

  1. It is always fun to see things for the first time (or with new eyes) and travel is a great way to do this. I am glad you are not letting the weather get you down. I love that part of the world.

  3. With our 90+ temperatures, I think I'd enjoy a walk with you in 52 degrees, with or without hills. Seeing life through a new lens can lead to great discoveries.

  5. Come on, try the fruity flapjacks and tell us what they taste like. So nice to commune with God in such a beautiful church.

  6. I'm not traveling much this summer, so I feel like I get to see things through your eyes on your trips. That church looks beautiful!! I wish I could hear the music. Enjoy those hilly walks...maybe climbing a mountain will be your next adventure. :)

  7. One person's hill is another's mountain. We found this year's ago when we drove to Florida. Signs said...hill ahead. We went over a little rise in the road and asked ourselves if that was the hill since the road after that was all flat. Enjoy.
