My first official CMS Link Visit yesterday, starting at St. Andrew’s Church, Sedbergh, Cumbria ~ yippee! The first of many link visits this Home Leave, a few before Christmas and many after….

What a fun day ~ first to check out York University campus and its beautiful lake…. Then off to a church on the east side of York for the autumn meeting of the CMS York Association – very delicious home-made soup and rolls and puddings and … Continue reading CMS York ~ Osaka / Taiwan ~ and yep, more bubbles!
