Presbyters

We attended church again this morning at the Presbyterian Church just down the street, about a five minute walk. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming to us. Bill the head pastor was coming off holidays today and gave a moving message based on Hosea 14. There is tea afterwards, like FGMF but tea and while milk. After the service Bill came over to introduce himself and also to offer his home for us to live in since they were living with their daughter because of circumstance. It is much closer to Henry’s school, a little farther from Katy’s, but in a much more “desirable” neighbourhood and far quieter that where we are at right now. The downside is it is quite a lot farther from where Carla is working and it doesn’t come with guaranteed one year (eleven months now) lease availability. I will call him to arrange for us to come see his place; it also has a pool in the complex and laundry in the apartment, not shared. We’d definitely benefit from the quietness though and we’d sacrifice other things to compensate. We’ll keep you posted.

We also went to the Gardens again today for faspa and a concert although we sat outside to listen. Harrison spotted a tortoise walking in the dirt and we were entertained by roaming guinea hens chasing one another. They can run uphill quite quickly.

Update – I’ve went to pastor Bill’s to look at the townhouse today (Monday), it is very nice, smaller than what we are currently in, but they can only guarantee a space for us until the end of June…so we will probably pass. It is very tempting since it is so quiet, but we need the stability and don’t want to be always changing addresses for things.
