Walking across clifftops in the summer sun

These photos were taken when Kate and I went on a cliff walk on our holiday in Cornwall (sorry- you've probably already heard about Cornwall if you've been following the blog but I couldn't resist sharing this beautiful view with you!) This beach is definitely making onto my favorite places list! It was a sunshine-y day. From the edge of the cliff, it felt like you could see for miles. We could even see our friends body boarding if we zoomed in on our cameras (photo 5!) I wish I could have taken more photos but my memory card was full and I didn't want to delete my end of term photos. Alas.

The beautiful little beach by our house

If you look closely, you can see Milla, Gina, Abbie, Sarah G, Sarah P and Meggy D body boarding!

You see the big rock island thing  in the sea? We swam out there!

On another note: I just got back from a week of summer camp where I was so blessed. It's been raining for months in England but we had the most ridiculously sunny week (prayer works), friendships were nurtured and many lives were touched by God. We were studying the books of Daniel and 1 Peter- I learned so much about how we should react to suffering as a Christian and what it really means to stand apart from the crowd. One of the memory verses that stuck out to me was this one: 'Do not fear what they fear, do not be frightened. In your hearts set apart Christ as Lord' 1 Peter 3:14. I'm such a worrier and this verse is a beautiful reminder to me that I don't need to be afraid of anything in this world but that I can take all my fears and insecurities to God.

Hope you're all enjoying the summer sun!

Love,
Megan

First glimpse of the morning

So I'm not usually one for getting up any time before ten in the morning in the holidays but around Easter time my Dad told me about a once-in-a-lifetime, spectacular, must-see event happening at 4 AM: the transit of Venus. So my family and a few others walked out onto the levels looking slightly bleary-eyed and consuming vast quantities of tea. Thankfully, it was all worth it: the transit was 

beautiful, the company kept me laughing and the sunrise was indescribably breathtaking.

I love how God blesses me through the world he has created.

Baptism, buttercups and buddies...

Our very own Sarah had her baptism last weekend! It was such a beautiful service and I felt so proud of her as she reaffirmed her faith. The love she has for Jesus just couldn't be contained within her, it shines off her all the time. She invited us over to her house afterwards for a lovely lunch and we took a walk through some buttercup covered fields.

This was an incredible weekend, and I wanted to take some shots to document it...enjoy!

Ten Steps to Perfect Dafs!

Hello blogging family!

How is everyone? This is a blog that I have been excited to do for a while now, and which the photos for it got buried for a month or two under layers of work, busy-ness, last-term-savouring school life and general forgetfulness. Anyhow, daffodils are still as beautiful in May as they were in March, and I would like to share this blissful memory of our beautifully sunny English Spring...

How to... FLOWER ARRANGE:-

ONE:

Find a BEAUTIFUL friend

TWO:

Choose your vase that desperately needs replacing and transforming...

THREE:

Find a garden where daffodils grow

FOUR:

Pick a range of varieties (don't forget to pick some leaves too!)

FIVE:

Lay the flowers out with your scissors and vase

SIX:

(OPTIONAL): Find a nosey cat that doesn't want to be left out

SEVEN:

Start placing the stems in the vase.

Make sure you include several different heights to make it interesting!

EIGHT:

Keep going, choosing flowers of different ages as well, until...tah dah!

NINE:

Repeat this process, making small changes according to the vase you use

(here, I filled out the vase more, so that the flowers wouldn't flop over)

TEN:

Admire your new ornaments!

I hope you enjoyed a taste of Spring.
Sending much love,
Sarah
