Final week of work (for now)

4 days to go. My first contract with DB London has come to an end. Will be saying my goodbyes to my colleagues onshore and offshore. Quite a sad-ish affair but I'm looking forward to moving on after this piece of work that has been done. God has been good to be able to stretch my role till our visit to the States (NYC, LI, Boston, NJ, Washington DC). Will be joining part of dave's family for hols and also meeting ole frens we havent seen for a year. Somewhat like a reunion. Currently, researching and planning the to-dos!

Farmer-ing on .....13 July 08

The time has come for the strawberries, raspberries, red/black currants, GOOSEBERRIES, carrots, beetroot, spinach, peas....etc to be harvested! A whole lot of fun, very exhilarating. Never knew how raspberries grew on trees and never seen a gooseberry (more familiar with goosebumps!) before, let alone tasted such a juicy and sweet one! Our first 'trip' with a bunch of us from the mandarin fellowship group at church, just about 40 to 50 mins drive after service. Great place for kids and those who like an introduction to farming. Ended the day with the fruit/veg that we had picked in our tiny baskets, weighed and purchased, ready to be cooked up at home.
