Tower of London and more




The last few days just flew by! I am feeling very good and ready for the last chemo session. Again, there is one blood count that is a bit low, but nothing to stop the bus altogether - I actually feel excited about Wednesday, taking cake to celebrate.

Saturday we went to the Tower of London. Fantastic place with so much history and great stories of heroes and the not so much heroes. We got in for the massive amount of one pound per person. Hugo's teacher and a friend explained that if you live in Tower Hamlets (the municipal area where we live) you only pay one pound. The Tower is also in this area. The weather however didn't play along - windy and cold (at least not windy and wet like most babies...).

On Sunday we went to the Quaystone Christian Church. We are very excited about this congregation. We felt so at home and warm during the service. They also run a bunch of activities and Hugo enjoyed the kiddies part very much. Ivan, well, he snoozed away....

After church we went for a real SA braai with new friends from the new church. It was very nice to chat about SA things and to compare UK notes. Sunday also being our one year anniversary living in London.

At church on Sunday I was again reminded of God's love and grace to each and every person. There was a little baby boy, Nathan, born at only 24 weeks and one day gestation - and he made it! He is such a little fighter and a huge blessing to everyone who prayed for him. If I look at him and his miracle story I know we serve a mighty, great, loving and wonderful God. He is the answer to everything - no matter how big or small the situation. I hope that you will also be able to find peace in Him. XXX
