HOLBECK HOLIDAY, TAKE TWO, PART TWO.

Here are the second lot of photos from our holiday in Wales. We headed out to the beach on two separate occasions to enjoy the slightly unexpected sunshine, armed with a BBQ, blankets and food (as always).

HOLBECK HOLIDAY, TAKE TWO.

Just like last year, this Easter I headed to Wales with the a lovely bunch of people. 

The week included a birthday, beach trips, a hot tub, baby cuddles, dancing, so much food, worship, a nineties throwback evening, rabbits and excellent company. Looking through these photos (and last years part one and two) makes me really grateful again to have these people around me and the chance to spend a lot of time with them. 

HAZY BUT SIGNS OF SPRING.

Hope you're having a good one!

HOLBECK HOLIDAY...PART TWO.

As promised, another post from my holiday in Wales...

For our last evening together, we had a BBQ on the beach complete with fire pit and toasting marshmallows, sunset and silly games. We left in the dark, finding our way across the beach by the light of our phones, smelling of wood smoke. It was so beautiful and a lot of fun, a perfect ending to a great week. 

I feel so blessed to know these people and to get to live just around the corner from them. I am very grateful that God has called me to live in this community.

 POPPY!
WE HAD THE PERFECT VIEW TO WATCH THE SUN DISAPPEARING OVER THE SEA..

..GONE!

OREO SMORES, DELICIOUS

EXCELLENT FIRE PIT

THE END

Finally I made a little video of our last evening together...

HOLBECK HOLIDAY.

During the Easter Holidays I was lucky enough to spend a week with some great people in Wales. We managed to pack a whole lot into our time away including spontaneous singing sessions, as much beach as we could manage, good food, dancing, glitter and amazingly, April sunshine! 

One of the best parts was starting the day praying and singing together. Taking time out to thank God for being together and all he has done for us made me a lot more thankful and aware of just how blessed we are.

My camera practically never left my neck, it was well worth being at the back of a few walks and on the sidelines in order to document some of the fun we had. Below is a fraction of what I captured.
