Hey my guest editor is on the ball.
Okaramio is a little community that once had a thriving school etc. Only the pub still runs – a little country pub that is an interesting place to visit!!! Just up the road is a little community church with one of the most amazing pedal organs I am told. Wish I had had time to try it out. I’ll put that on the ‘must do follow-up’ list.
Walked into the Marlborough Nor-Wester today. Wasn’t a strong one – but it does sap the energy.
Am on the ‘vodem’ tonight which is too slow to post photos.
Had a large contingent walk out of Blenheim – including the Mayor of Marlborough. Joined by a lady on the outskirts who had found a little book in a secondhand shop which she presented to me. It was ‘A method for prayer’ by Matthew Henry and was given to Archdeacon Butt in 1883 who used it on his journeys around the Marlborough region. I am going to treasure this book!
Each day there is something new, like this, that just bowls me away.
Am reminded of the verse from Lamentations: ‘the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning.’
I really have discovered the truth of that.
Two more sleeps until home.
