Rebekah, Rebekah, Toby, Anna and Caleb decided to join the youth scratch choir.  They had three rehearsals and then performed on the mainstage.  Toby even did the male solo in Oh Happy Day. So this seems to be another Greenbelt tradition, selling off the Divine chocolate very very cheaply – it’s not all ours honestly! I made [Continue]

This years Greenbelt gave us the experience of camping in the coldest weather we have ever experienced.  The temperature went down to 0 on Saturday night, Nerissa woke up on Sunday morning to ice on the tent.  I think I slept for about 2 hours in total and don’t think I have ever felt so [Continue]

Jonathan was at the kids activities, the girls were off terrorising the rest of the camp-site with their friends there was finally time for martin and I to catch our breath and look at the program.  We did this in the essential to visit venue.  Now at the Isle of Wight Festival that would be the Solace Tent [Continue]

Here is the first of a few holiday posts – very delayed but we’ve been too busy since we’ve got back to update the blog. We went to the fabulous Bewilderwood in the middle of our week away on the Broads.  It was absolutely fantastic, a giant adventure playground with zipwires, slides swings and climbing frames that we [Continue]

I’ve recently been on a skiing trip to Italy with my Aunt.I went for a week and did skiing every day I had three hours lessons which was really good. By the end of the week I was going down quite steep red runs and going at speeds of up to 30MPH quite speedy considering [Continue]
