Britain 2012, Days 8 to 15

We had a lovely time near Carmarthen with our friends Geraint and Magali. It’s a Franco-Welsh couple, and it was good to get to know each other better. The children played well together. There was a lot of French spoken, some Welsh, and hardly any English.

On the Sunday, I was preaching in Lampeter Evangelical church. Our two families had been invited and we had a great day, eating in the sun at the Hedyn Mwstard (too many people for Gareth and Liz’s house), and watching the kids play in the park. I preached in Welsh in the evening service. First time ever. But it went well.

On Monday, we went to Fishguard for lunch with some Friends, and I had a warm Welcome from Carmarthen Evangelical Church.

On Tuesday, we relaxed and went to see Esther’s uncle and aunt in Carmarthen. I spoke in the English Evangelical church in the evening.

On Wednesday, we headed towards Cardiff after lunch and stayed with friends from the Heath Evangelical church. I spoke there in the evening. It was lovely to be back in our home church.

On Thursday, I went to London, leaving the family in Cardiff. The train was slightly late, but I enjoyed walking in London, around Oxford Circus and Regent street. I visited the Apple store and Hamleys (a huge toy shop). I spoke in Kensit Evangelical church in the evening and met their new Pastor.

I went back to Cardiff on Friday. There was no meeting in the evening, and we had a lovely time with another couple from the Heath Evangelical church. Maxime was unwell and fell asleep on the sofa. He slept the whole time we were there.

On Saturday, we made our way to North Wales, taking our time and enjoying the sunshine.
