I've made a new gadget. I can now video myself while using the [better quality] rear facing camera - and see what the smartphone sees so I stay in shot etc.

Before, I held it with a hand (or tripod), and had to use the front facing [rubbish] camera, or have help via one of my sons to hold the phone and keep me in shot.

All in, it cost me under £8 (2 x mirrors)

Check out this blog if you want to know how and what I did :-)

@Olamide - something for you perhaps?

In this 2 Minute Video, Andy B looks at a blow up booster seat that's destined for the bin.

But if it doesn't work, it is pointless, dangerous and needs replacing. Until it is no longer needed. Then, whether it works or not, it isn't needed.

For Something 4 Sunday today, we want to reshare our BerryBunch Light Party one more time.

We loved creating it and it brings us much joy. We hope it'll brighten your day too :-)

Off the back of a request by @Olamide we've put together a page on our website with Behind the Scenes Photos and tips, some of the history behind the BerryBunch.family website as well as a list of the equipment we use.

I enjoyed putting it together and hope it will inspire others to their own creative bests for Jesus and building His kingdom!

We've been busy on some other super important projects recently including our www.BerryBunch.family website.

This photo reminds me to keep hoping.

My short blog post shares how this image of me, being exhausted, brings much comfort and hope in the UK during lockdown 2.0!!

We'll upload a recording to YouTube, Instagram TV and of course, as soon as we finish - so it should be available to watch, again, from around 8pm (GMT) onwards.

While sitting in the car, waiting for Jo to get some printing done, I saw a Cruise Liner, which got me thinking about resting - both passive & active.

So, to the tune of rain beating on the roof, it got me pondering about how we rest; if God rested on the 7th day for the world - setting a beautiful rhythm for us to follow - and if we can rely on God, how does this affect our intentional resting as the children he adores?

Brought Jo into work this morning - she only has to print a document for her residential training course next week (we didn't fancy doing it at home since it's well over 400 pages!!!

Anyway, saw this - this particular office has a car park right on the dockside.

Got me thinkin....and chilling

It's been quite a successful couple of days with the BerryBunch.family 😃

We've recorded both art projects and our happy pumpkin (with gospel message) - for our free Live Light Party this Saturday (from 7pm GMT)

I've nearly finished all the video editing - all we need to do now is to wait until Saturday evening and get stuck in.

We've even managed to record all the other segments for our usual, other, 3 broadcasts going out over the weekend........busy, busy 🙂

The resulting creations really are awesome and fitting for a www.BerryBunch.family produced Light Party 😃😁😊 (from 7pm GMT)

So I've spent the best part of the day writing a new story for Little Blessings Online, and using Paul on the road to Damascus as the basic plot and hook...

...and after a day of wrestling to make this story work, I've come up with "Paul and the Bright Light, told by Tracy (spelt correctly) and Tracey (with an 'E')"

Just need some tweaking then we can film it :-)

Gonna need Jo for this one.................

Jo and the boys seemed to like it, so it mustn't be too bad!
