We arrived yesterday afternoon in time to watch the football…very exciting, stressful and disappointing couple of hours! We then had dinner and headed off to our hosts. Becca and I are staying in a gorgeous house with beautiful views and a lovely family so it’s all good!

7.30 this morning we were in St Cuthbert Mayne Roman Catholic and Anglican Church school for a speedy 1hr 25min set up and then a day of yr7 lessons looking at the value we have as people and the important issue of forgiveness. Today was a momentous occasion for me as I played Keel’s drums (in fact any drum kit at all!!) for the very first time, and in front of 30 students. Not very well of course, just very poor attempts and drum rolls…so just lots of random hitting of drums and cymbals!

The students responded very well and we had some good questions including ‘are any of you born again Christians?’ and ‘do you deeply believe in God?’ so fantastic opportunities to share personal stories. The staff seem very enthusiastic and welcoming which is brilliant.

Relaxing evening at hosts tonight, we had a BBQ and a nice time chatting. Earlyish night and then up ready to be in school at 8.15 for some Abi lessons tomorrow!

Thanks for your prayers!! Xx
