Off for the first official meeting of a home ed group I launched a month ago....just one other family confirmed for this morning (only found out we actually had the venue on Monday!)

55 or so Dings away from the ninja image........

Our new washing machine is currently now on its second load, while I play catch up with the washing that's built up since Sunday! Washing is drying on the line, although at 6pm, it won't dry much tonight...it can go an aurer in our drying room over night (a small porch with the oil boiler in it that never cools down)...tumble dryer is standing ready if needs be to help us catch up with the current load washing in the new machine.

Feel very blessed that a way of paying for it opened up so easily... would've been a very different stor otherwise

Thanks to thosr that prayed and spoke uplifting words of encouragement! It meant a lot this week - especially @MaryMamuzich.

With a dodgy ankle this week (not a single clue how I hurt it earlier this week) the boys installed everything while I delegated ;-)

Episode 4 now uploaded ready for viewing FROM 4pm SUNDAY 13th June on our website, YouTube, IGTV and Facebook.

This one feels like something of a labour of love!! But we overcame the technology issues in the end with what felt like a hammer and some gaffa tape!

We have added [correct] captions/subtitles too, and a transcript of my #GoDeeper talk on Keeping it Pure is available at the website via the link below (again, from 4pm Sunday).

I'll post this link again on Sunday afternoon. If you want the links when the posts are actually available, just visit the website and sign up to our blog!

Thanks for the prayers this week - they were needed!

Wondering if Amazon will try and squeeze our washing machine through the letterbox like they usually do with oversized parcels 😜 .......or perhaps leave it behind the bin?

5 stops away....washing is poised, ready to test it out on its arrival!!

After such a day of technical issues, we're winding down for the evening. But I can't miss a year marking the life of our daughter, who died when she was 11 weeks old in the womb.

We named her Magdi - she would have been Peter's older sister.

She only lived for a very short time, but she made an impact on us that is lasting lifetimes!

I think of all we've done with BerryBunch and know her legacy, and what she taught us, are tightly connected.

When she died, we made a little Lego model to remember her, with the letter M built in the middle.

This photo, of that Lego model, was taken not long after - when we'd sold our home, to invest in a business that went on to be the last, and final, insurmountable God shaped object that prevented the opening of a lap dancing club.

That Lego model was a daily reminder to live the life we have while we have it, and a motto
"One Life Live It"

Looking forward to meeting her in heaven one day.

#gonebutnotforgotten

We switched to a 7pm time for our weekday Prayer 2:62 but, to be honest, this really isn’t fitting with our family as we’d expected it to do. So, with some pretty big plans for Prayer 2:62 due in a month anyway, we’re gonna put a pause on Prayer 2:62 for now.

Our intention, God willing – when we change things up a bit – will be with a return to our previous time of 4pm, but with some exciting additions in the form of a prayer vlog/journal from Peter, and the wonderful Jo Jo and Peter creating a weekly Family Prayer Time video/idea to inspire you in your own situation. You can look at ones we’ve done previously here - https://www.berrybunch.family/resources/family-prayer-times/.

We don’t like having to cancel, and the time really isn’t working for us as we had planned for it to do.

So we’ll restart back on Monday 5th July for more Prayer 2:62.
