We’ve had a great weekend and have felt quite privileged and lucky this weekend. It’s been fantastic and relaxed; a fantastic way to celebrate our 40th’s.

We stayed in the Crown Plaza at Blackfriars which was conveniently close to the Tate modern where we spent Saturday afternoon and wandered around Rachel Whitehead’s ‘Embankment‘.

We wandered a lot and sat in a number of coffee shops. The show and meal were great and it was lovely just for us to be able to wander and enjoy each others company. A beautiful sunny Sunday morning saw us walking along the Strand, after a great breakfast, up Drury Lane and around Covent Garden.

I don’t want to sound sloppy but …I’ve come away from the weekend remembering why I love Sarah and why we got married some 16 years ago! I’m not saying that I had forgotten that we loved each other, just that I’d forgotton some of the why and where that love came from – from where, and why, it initially started. Spending time together, alone, meant I was reminded of this all over again.

I guess it’s obvious that the same can happen with me and God – I know that we love each other, but it is easy to forget why – and one way to remind myself is to spend time alone together remembering why.

A number of people made this weekend possible: Tery and Jo; Tom, Beth and Joe; Ernie and Janet; John and Judith – big big thanks to you all!
