Children

My dad's funeral today 10.00 SA time. Sad that I could not be there with my mom and other family.

Good News Club at 10.00am GMT. About 8 children turned up. It ended rather early, and we then had to wait until 12.00pm for the older group’s meeting to start. I invited the older children to come over to the manse – we could make popcorn and chat while we waited. One of the older girls had her 5 year old cousin with her, that she was looking after. I said he could come and play in my “children’s corner”. No sooner had he settled, than 4 other little boys appeared at the front door and asked “Can us come in too?” I then had all of them playing with my children’s toys and games for about an hour.

At 12 noon Madison arrived, and we had our first Young People's group. Not too much enthusiasm, but as the Saints like to say, "not too bad". Kieren was rather pleased to get a lift home on the back of Graeme's scrambler.


Nick Thorpe, Lolly, and Shirley March paid us an afternnon visit. We ladies chatted girl talk, while Nick and Graeme got engrossed in history talk.

Received a telephone call from my daughter in the UK, who had managed to speak to my mom and family in SA after my dad's funeral. She reassured me about my mom.
