Morecombe Bay from the Prospect Hotel

The full English Breakfast was our first meal of the day at The Prospect Hotel.
The weather was rainy and very

windy, but our room was quite cozy.

Looking out the front window in the morning, you see the bay. To the left the tide is out, and to the right you see in the afternoon the tide came back in. They have said, people have walked across the bay, when the tide was out,
but would have to hurry back before the tide came in behind them. Some have drowned. Don't think I'll try it!!

In the distance, is the Lake District, or Cumbria County. With the fog and rain, the fells (hills) are still picturesque.

I thank God for his wonderful diversity in creation!!

Emmanuel FCE Church, Morecombe

The Emmanuel FCE (Free Church of England) is where we had
the Synod of the Northern Diocese. The church building is quite old and the stone that is to the right, memorializes Selina Countess of Huntingdon. I've been readingabout her. She was an influence on the Wesley Brothers, George Whitefield and others, that came to America. The stain glass window, pictured below is spectacular!!

Please keep Emmanuel FCE in your prayers. We believe God can revive the town of Morecombe again.

Pancake Day with Brownies and Girls Guides!

Just as there is in the USA, "Fat Tuesday," Lancashire has their "Pancake Day" just before Lent. The explanations we received from the girls, were varied, "Why Pancake Day?"

One of the girls had mentioned that Jesus ate them. Well!!!!! Maybe? It gave me a chuckle!!

The ones they made were large and thin, almost like a crepe. Of course, I offered to make the "silver dollar" pancakes. They all enjoyed them. Some of the girls wanted the recipe, so I gave them the opportunity to write it out themselves. The only obstacle they saw was that I use "cups and teaspoons" where they use "mililiters and grams."

Dewlay, the Cheesemakers of Garstang

The Dewlay Factory was fascinating, but Colbie was not at all interested. Grandpa kept her satisfied with all his little kisses!!

Bram, Sherri, and little Bram, along with Grandma enjoyed the personal tour of the making of Cheese!!

It definitely looked like "spongey" stuff, but we all enjoyed the taste, especially with crackers and/or homemade bread. YUM!!

Breakfast on the Farm!!

Forget the breakfast, Grandma and Bram stayed outside. Of course, Bram did most of the playing and Grandma took the photos. With riding the tractor, and having a discussion with
the animals, we had a great time. If the animals got too close, Bram backed off. Grandma's coffee got a little cold, but it was worth it!!When Grandpa, daddy and mommy were done with breakfast, we decided to come in. We were on to our next adventure!! The Dewlay Cheese Factory!!!!

Grandchildren are the Best!

Our grandchildren have been a treat to have at the house. Little Bram and Colbie enjoyed the
toys.

Grandpa and Grandma enjoyed showing off, our little guy at St. David's Church, although he was Mr. Shy. Grandpa enjoyed making the train track and trains, with little Bram. What an enjoyable time!!

Let's do London!!

Trafalgar Square and Big Ben are definite sites to see in London.

Little Bram was amazed with the subways (the tube). Of course, we also got to see the Parliament building (right). So much to see, so little time...........
With Bram, Sherri, little Bram, Colbie, Grandpa and Grandma, we all enjoyed our visit to London.
