Sunday
Dear Elsie
A quiet Sunday morning was shattered by an enormously loud sound passing right overhead. It sounded like a jet was hurtling towards the earth and was about to plunge dramatically into our house. And then suddenly, as quickly as the sound came, it left and peace returned. All that remained were shattered nerves & a rush of adrenaline. We nearly jumped out of our skin. The street whatsapp group immediate sprang to life.
Apparently it was a Saab JAS 30 Gripen. Henriette managed to get a video. Difficult to get but gives you the idea.
No sooner had my heart rate come back down to normal, there was more to see out the window as an incessant knocking had me looking to see what I was hearing. There was a whale slapping his tail. Another resident, Tamara managed to get this video.
All I got was the tail…
After a while, it made a huge splash and disappeared under the water, not to be seen again. You can see from the video how windy it is today.
Later in the day we decided to go out for scones. We decided Little Stream would be a good place to visit. The photos speak for themselves. Such a lovely spot – as spring has spring it’s absolutely enchanting.
After tea, we went for a walk…
Little stream at Little Stream!
Altogether a lovely day despite the wind.
Psalm 89:14
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before You.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
