2022 – Blea Tarn, Great and LIttle Langdale Valleys<\/figcaption><\/figure>We started the New Year in Switzerland<\/a>! It was a wonderful trip. Lots of beautiful scenery – really, that trip alone was the trip of a lifetime. <\/p>\n

From there, it was back to Nazarene Theological College<\/a> in Manchester. We enjoyed our year there; especially making many great friends at the college, where we lived and volunteered, and at Longsight Community Church of the Nazarene, where we worshipped. <\/p>\n

We took full advantage of the travel opportunities available to us, with visits to Ireland<\/a>, the Netherlands<\/a>, Scotland<\/a>, and the great attractions local to Manchester<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In June we said farewell to our friends in the UK and returned to Houston for an entirely different sort of Adventure. After looking at serval houses we settled on one – but with a bit of concern about various projects that would need doing fairly soon.<\/p>\n

The next day, a different listing became available. One look at this house and we felt it was “the one!” A bit of negotiating and we signed on the dotted line – after years of fulltime RVing and then a year in England we had a “stix and brix” place of our own. <\/p>\n

As I said, “what a year it was!”<\/p>\n

While we are happy with our new house we still have the itch to do some traveling. Our New Year will start with a Carribean cruise and there are a few other things on the horizon. <\/p>\n

We know we are blessed in every way. Thanks for following along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
