D  is  for  design!    Adri  has  a  new  plan  for  designing  with  wood  almost  every  day!    At  present  he  is  making  these  beautiful  marquetry  wall  clocks  for  gifts  and  galleries.      

                                                                           The  centrepiece  of  our  lounge  is  a  marquetry  table.  

     E  is  for  Everyday  life!  When  moving  to  a  new  country,  one  of  the  first  discoveries  that  you  make,  if  you  were  not  wise  enough  to  know  it  beforehand,   is   that  although  you  change  your  country  and  environment,  you  do  not  start  off  new,  but  build  on  your  past.  Every  day   that   happened   in   your   life   before   counts   and   you   take   your  whole   “being”  along!   Happy  memories   from  where   you   came   from   and   the  wonderful   people  who  shaped  your   lives  before,  are  not  erased.  They   last   forever  and   technology  makes  it  possible  to  stay  in  contact  with  loved  ones  and  friends  all  over  the  globe!        

                           The   day   still   starts   with   coffee   and   rusks   and  we   often   bake  milk   tart   –   as  we  always  did!  Many  aspects  of   your  daily  activities  are   just  a   continuation  of  what  you   have   built   into   your   life   previously,   despite   the   changed   milieu   and   new  challenges.   You   wake   up   in   the   morning,   with   the   same   prayer   and   sense   of  gratitude   for   the   new   day   and   you   just   know:   “All   our   yesterdays   and   all   our  tomorrows,  are  held  in  His  hands!”

F  is  for  Family  –  December  2016  when  all  the  offspring  gathered  in  New  Zealand.    They  are  all  well  and  blessed  and  doing  what   they  enjoy   to  do  and  are  good  at!  

   G  is  for  Gardening  Gardening  is  just  great!  Planting,  tending  and  watching  how  God  makes  it  grow!    New  Zealanders  love  to  cook,  bake,  eat  and  especially  cultivate  their  own  food!    We  have  “toughened  up”,  as  the  Kiwis  say,  and  have  added  growing  vegetables  to  the  list  of  favourite  activities!  I  now  know  how  to  turn  solid  clay  into  soil  that  is  soft   as   butter   when   you   stick   your   fork   into   it!   Soon   we   intend   to   have   three  vegetable  boxes  in  the  back  garden  and  lots  of  vegetables  to  eat  and  share.
