I’ve moved house by the way…

Sorry! I’ve been so busy I forgot to mention it.

The decision to move house came because I wanted to be closer to work. Though Llangammarch Wells was a dream location (see pictures here http://missdaisyspetals.blogspot.com/2013/03/goodbye-ammanford-hello-llangammarch.html and http://missdaisyspetals.blogspot.com/2013/03/snow-day.html ) my journey to work was 1hour and 20 minutes each way, and as you can imagine doing this 5 days a week was incredibly exhausting and also very costly. I also moved house because I wanted to experience having my own home as a single person and to learn how to build and run a home.

So in September I traded the farm lands of Lllangammarch Wells for the grass lands of Tonna, God has blessed me with a bungalow in this quiet village. Though I live in a bungalow I still have a fair amount of stairs, my house is up on a hill so there are steps leading up to my house (which is great fun when I come home with bags of shopping) and more steps to get to my garden.  I haven’t yet explored the area fully but according to a few maps I’ve looked at there are some amazing walks and beautiful waterfalls close by.

When I get a chance I will upload some pictures of the house/area for you to look at. Till then here’s a little sneak peek.

25 and 9 Years

As close as Samba and I are, for most of our friendship we’ve been far apart. Collectively we’ve been between London, Derby, Switzerland, Wales, Leeds and Paris yet our friendship keeps going from strength to strength. People often wonder why I use my blog to highlight my close friends’ birthdays, well it’s at that time in particular I reflect on their lives and on our friendship; I’ve enjoyed reflecting on the years of friendship God has blessed Samba and I with.

 

Samba and I met in college; it wasn’t an instant friendship as we subtle clashed a few times during our As General Studies classes. Till this day I can’t actually pinpoint (perhaps Samba can help me) at what time we became close friends but 9 years later I am happy to say that I love Samba dearly and  I am blessed to have her in my life. I love Samba because she is very patient with me (even when I am having my self-centred strops) and is never harsh or rude. She is very honest (sometimes brutally) which is such a blessing as sometimes you need your friends to tell you the truths that you don’t want to tell yourself. She is very intelligent (Bilingugal too!) and I love having discussion with her regarding religious, political, economic and social issues. I am also inspired by her strong values and morals; her conduct is always governed by principle.

It’s been a wonderful 9 years, with all kinds of memories; Studying the bible on the bus, revising for our A’Levels, birthday celebrations, food time, prayer time, sleepovers and deep and meaningful conversation. I’m so thankful for these 9 years, above all, I’m thankful to God for the 25 years he has given her!
