Some Days, It's the Little Things
We’ve hit full-on summer here in Wales. This week, the temperatures range from 72 to 80 degrees, which is quite warm for this area. I used to laugh at those who talked about how hot it was at these temperatures since I was used to SC summers of 100 degrees and more. But, my body has adapted to the cooler climate of Wales because this weather feels quite warm to me. It’s beautiful, but a bit toasty, especially since most places (including ours) have no air conditioning.
What's In a Name?
I must admit, I'm adapting to Welsh life far quicker than I expected. As one who fights change, I feared my transition to a new way of life would be slow and painful. But, I'm delighted to say that's not been the case. I've become accustomed to life here and am enjoying it immensely.
When the Wind Blows
I love living in Wales! The people are so kind and gracious. The scenery is breathtaking. The sheep are interesting beyond measure. And believe it or not, I even enjoy the weather. Take today, for example. It’s the 4th day of July. The weather was partly cloudy, with a few light sprinkles this morning. And the temperature? It was a low of 54 degrees and a high of 62. Isn’t that awesome! Despite the often drizzly weather, I’ve come to enjoy the Welsh climate.
Which Side of the Bus Are You On?
Some of you are probably wondering where I’ve been. To be honest, I’ve been wondering myself. The past few months have been such a blur of activity that I’ve met myself coming and going but never had a moment to sit and chat with myself (or anyone else for that matter). Between ministry responsibilities, moving into our new rental home (hallelujah!), and having a visit from my mom (hooray!), we’ve whirled around and around so much we couldn’t tell up from down and right from left.
Wonderers and Wanderers
The little lambs here on the farm are growing by leaps and bounds. They’re also doing their fair share of leaping and bounding, which is adorable and hilarious to watch.
