A very happy new year to you all! For those of you who know God as your Father, may His blessings rest on you this year. For those who don’t yet call him Father, perhaps this will be the year that He calls you into a relationship with Him!
Our holiday has drawn to an end now, as we leave early tomorrow morning for Cape Town, and then board the ship later in the day. Lord willing, we arrive back on our beautiful island next Tuesday, the 8th. This is assuming that the
engines don’t fail us, or bad weather delay us. We have had an awesome holiday here, with so many occasions to see friends and family, and a healthy dose of laughter. Our new years’ eve was a memorable evening, with the same crowd of friends that gathered three years ago at the Martins’ home. Those three years have seen three of the six couples move to different parts of the world, and three children born. It was wonderful to be together again, perhaps for the last time as more emigrations are pending!
The obvious question now is, how are we feeling about leaving here and returning to the island? Well, we’re actually quite excited about getting back. The holiday has come to the yucky part of packing up and getting a million little things into suitcases – on the ship we have a large luggage allocation, but we are restricted by the kulula flight. Therefore, we are keen to get back home and get settled in our own home with our own routines again. I know that my parents especially are relieved that we are feeling upbeat about our return – it would have been a pathetic little figure saying goodbye to her parents tomorrow morning if she were unhappy at the thought of another stint on St Helena! Until next Tuesday then, I bid you all goodnight – I’ll be back blogging regularly soon...
