August to September

Its a wet September morning and no-one else is up yet, so I thought I'd let you know the things we've been up to this last few of weeks. 

Since I got back from Peru it feels like we've been busy!  At the end of August we went to Momentum, which is Soul Survivor's festival for people who have grown up a little bit.  There were a whole load of us going from Sheffield and it was fun to be with such a big group.  We ran a little prayer room based on the Chinese 5 Elements and had an area for each; Earth, Fire, Wood, Water, Metal.  People came in during the day to use the room and pray and we finished each night saying  Compline together.  The folks we talked to seemed to really appreciate it.

It was our wedding anniversary while we were there.  Which means I've been married for 7 years to this beautiful lady.



After Momentum we spent a few days with my family,  this time included a trip to London Zoo for us all,  C loves animals and Zoos and appreciated the trip.  H and I stayed on in London that evening to see a prom.  This is something we've tried to do each summer since we first met.  Last year we didn't make it,  but this year we did.  We heard the New York Philharmonic play Gerswhin's Piano Concerto in F major,  Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and a New Commission by Steven Stucky called Rhapsodies.  It was excellent!

After a few more days rest we were back to Sheffield for a smashing end of summer party at the Lovell's and then that was that,  August over!

September so far has been all about getting ready for Form.  We start this weekend and I think we're just about ready.
