Sunday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day you woke up at our house again. We had breakfast together and you helped me with some washing. It’s Easter Sunday! Christ is Risen! We loved spending time with you and miss you now you have gone home. You are doing so well & Granny is very proud of you.
You can see it was a spectacular Easter Sunday. The day has been beautiful, calm & very clear. The Pringle Bay lighthouse was easily visible through the telescope as well as my binocs.
After the family left, I did some reading and I finished reading the St. Helena book ‘Remote’. This time next week, God willing, weather permitting, Julian and I will be in St. Helena. I’m now trying to erase any assumptions I have made from the book and will go on this trip with an open mind. I’m a bit afraid of our driving plans. The roads seem narrow and there appear to be a lot of precipitous hills and many sharp bends, switchbacks and hairpins. Julian in the driver seat will be reminded (hopefully not too many times) to stick to the 30/40km an hour speed limit imposed on the island. To be honest, I don’t think he will have too much trouble.
In the afternoon, Mike and I took a walk to Harbour Bay. On the way we stopped for a few moments at Glencairn Beach…
On the way back, we stopped at the car park and sat on a bench to admire the view. I remember bringing Granny here a dozen or so years ago and sitting in the car appreciating the same view. I remember a seagull perching on the train line post. Today another did the same.
Let me see if I can find the one from years ago…yup there we go – dated 30th April 2012. Not quite a dozen years ago, I zoomed in on this one.
This weekend there has been the False Bay Yacht Club Easter Regatta…
We’ve had a happy meaningful Easter Sunday.
John 11:25-26.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
Eternal life – it’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
