‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times!’ A Charles Dickens quote about sums up these last few months for us!

Having to live in various temporary accommodation over the summer, especially with the girls home, was very challenging! But we were thankful to have made the decision that our house wasn’t safe and moved out the day before part of the ceiling fell onto our bed - the supporting beams having been eaten by termites. Finally, a few weeks before the girls went back, we were able to move into a new house and we have been so very, very thankful for that. It remains incredibly hard to see the girls leave again and it’s not likely that we’ll see them for a year once more. But they were so helpful while they were with us. One of the things they did was make a short video of the kids at the place of grace, to try and capture their joy at being there.
