Cake and Criers

Our further life and times in the deep Westcountry continue…

Shanon (as I may have mentioned) is doing such a great job as a housewife. Check out her superb culinary skills:
Strawberry shortcake
Please pray for direction in her life now, as she is considering employment and is seeking the Lord’s guidance as to what to do, where to do it, and how much of it to do.

Life is exciting in what looks like a quiet corner of the country here. We just went for a walk in the morning, and bumped into a whole bunch of these:
Oyez!

Oyez! Oyez!

There was a carnival going on in the park just around the corner from our place, and they had a town crier contest going on. Prizes for announcing, best dressed and for (as seen here) ‘escorts’. Shanon gets to experience another (not often seen) facet of British life.

Life in Frome

We have been living here for a couple of months now, and we’re really starting to settle in. Shanon has a great blog post on our day out to Dorset.

We’re already becoming active members of the Baptist church here. I’ve helped with P.A. (sound) a couple of times and tomorrow, Shanon is going to play the keys! Shanon is also making friends there, and had joined a midweek ladies group. It’s great for her to have some friends here!

Right now it’s Frome Festival time. Last weekend we went to see a pair of classical musicians playing piano and cello. Not my usual cup of tea - but I did enjoy it (and feel smart and cultured now!).
