Been to Birkenhead

Oh, I had such a fun day yesterday!  We went over the water to see my CHEF friend. I finally dragged the teens out of bed at about 10.15 -  I was hoping to be halfway there by then...
We got there (taxi & 2 trains) about 11.30. CHEF friend has 6 adorable children aged approx 7-15. I felt at home immediately - the clutter / bickering situation being very similar to that in my house!
We had a super chat, did some sock knitting together and empathised with each other a lot! And had a good laugh. We had vegetable soup, made with duck stock! A first for me!
It was like a little holiday!
Back in at 6.30, shoved some pizza & quiche in the oven and sped off to the prayer meeting (it's prayer week of prep before we go back to all our church's ministries) where I was totally exhausted & could barely keep me eyes open :(

Thanks Lord for a lovely day spent with a precious family!
