Christmas Eve at Derwentwater

pre-Party Peek...

This is a kransekake, a Norwegian wreath-cake. Emma made it a short while ago (she's been cooking and baking all week!), and she's making the rice-pudding that goes with it tomorrow morning. It's less than 12 hours until our party starts. See you soon...

24-7 Christmas Lunch!

Here's us... enjoying a traditional 24-7 Christmas lunch in our new local, The Banker, on the banks of a murky River Thames. They'd run out of turkey, so Andy and I opted for the festive Christmas tuna-lasagne. (?)

'Lady of the Match'

Emma is interning with me this year, on 24-7's 'Wild Goose' programme. Today, I discovered that she also plays midfield for Godalming Town Ladies. Check out their latest match report, against Croydon Postal (?), which begins; "Lady of the match Emma Nicholson ran the midfield from start to finish..."

What Would Jesus Watch (WWJW)?

Yet another ASBO Jesus classic...

But what is God watching?

Our Christmas Tree

We put our Christmas tree up today... it's an annual ritual to all participate, adding the lights and the decorations, while singing along to The Best Christmas Songs In The World... Ever.

We read the nativity story together, and Helen led us in a short seasonal blessing.

The Nativity Story...

24-7prayer UK Network Day

I love 24-7's UK Network Days. I love the people, the stories, the prayer, the fun and laughter, the food, the little reminders that I'm caught up in something extraordinary...
