Just a week before Christmas! The sun shone and we walked along the promenade in Cardiff Bay. Paul & Beth came over for an early Christmas meal and celebration. That's them on the right in case you were confused!
A few days later - December 21st actually - this is the picture along the River Taff.
 

Our first carol concert took the form of a Nativity Play at Amelia Trust Farm. Fiona, our daughter-in-law was the music stand - except on Saturday December 2 when she was an angel - and Chloe played the flute. Charis was an angel. The whole play was done with animals and in a farm yard. Not sure if this was really what it is like, but it gave it an air of reality.
Stephen played the keyboard and was pulled from location to location on a cart on the back of a tractor.
 

As we were on a ranch, the theme for teh weekend was the Wild West, so on Saturday evening we all dressed up!


Peter spoke on Into the Saddle, Joining God's Posse and High Noon from the life of Hezekiah. 

On the last weekend in November we went to Standlake near Oxford, for a church weekend. We stayed at Standlake Ranch a hostel on the edge of a lake.

The group called ignite, come from Ebe church in Bristol and we had a great time together from Friday to Sunday.
