It's been a long time, because I've just wanted to settle down and enjoy my time with Potters Bar, Shenley & Radlett. And I have been, a great deal! But people keep asking "You're going soon, aren't you?" and yes, it's only 3 months and 2 days until my last service, and then we move out.
Before that there is a lot more work and a lot more packing.
Italian lessons - studio italiano, mas e lente!
Looking forward - the apartment in Italy needs a bit of finishing off, so we just hope that there will be a bed and a sofa by the time we arrive. The kitchen is also in need of repair, and there are bare wires in a couple of places where there should be lights. Our house here in Potters Bar is so comfortable, with such a gorgeous garden (that Gabrieli is particularly relishing in this warmer weather), so I'm sure we will miss green England. But we have a terrace, which looks perfect for growing tomatoes and peppers, and a courtyard that needs to be colonised by flowers and a BBQ, and the flat will be lovely and cool during the hot summers.
I did send an email to ask how things are going in Italy after the earthquake (terremoto), but I haven't heard back, so we continue to pray for the re-building and the important work of pastoral care in those communities and for all those affected. My mum was a bit concerned about the possibility of earthquakes, but I assured her that floods were more likely!
