Heading home

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Sitting in Cape Town International Airport, we’re finally heading home. Seems like we’ve been away for a long time. In fact, taking into account Christmas, I’ve hardly been home in Sheffield since 21st December. It’ll be nice to be back for a bit. Though it’s only for a couple of weeks before we head to […]

“I hate white people”

Monday, January 14th, 2008

One of the questions we were asked when fundraising for our trip to work with Oasis South Africa was whether we could really make that much of a difference in just one week. To be honest, I wondered about this too. Having spent the week with the young adults though confirmed just how far people […]

Life changing

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Lying in bed in a luxury apartment in Cape Town, I’m filled with a mix of confusing thoughts. It’s great to be down here after spending last week in Johannesburg, but at the same time I’m finding it hard to adjust having got to the end of a week working with some of the poorest […]

Off to South Africa

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Well tomorrow myself, Rachel, and a team of five others head to South Africa to serve with a charity called Oasis South Africa in Johannesburg. The time with the charity is for one week but me and Rachel will stay out for an extra week and head down to Cape Town for a holiday.
With the […]

Wishing everyone a fantastic 2008.
May more of your dreams become a reality this year.
Don’t settle for average. Live with passion. And risk everything.

We have a lounge!

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

After months without a lounge due to lots of work that had to be done, we are now pretty much there. The carpet went down on Monday and other than a few things like the curtains still to go up, we’re done!
It’s been a busy summer all in all, but its nice to start to […]

Cheap labour

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

We have quite a tight deadline to get our lounge decorated in time for the next bit of work we’re having done shortly. I’ve had to rest though as my back is not feeling right after the crash on Tuesday. Thanks to Helen, Cathy, Isaac, and Natalie from our community though we have been able […]

Crash

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

I managed to crash my car last night. Nothing too serious in terms of me or anyone else being hurt (though my back isn’t great), but my car has been declared as written off.
Oh the joys.

Three years of wedded…

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

…BLISS (of course!)
This Monday just gone was our third wedding anniversary. How time flies! We spent the day at Alton Towers, which is probably Britain’s best theme park. It was lots of fun! (Check out the pics below).
I can’t quite believe we’ve already been married for three years. In some senses it feels like we’ve […]

The VOX Party / Life Update

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Last night was the opening night for the VOX party. It went really well. Better than we even hoped I think. There were lots of people, a really good buzz, lots of great conversations, and genuine interest from people to get involved with help shaping future events. You can see more about the night over […]
