Text of the page (random words):
he story was great and as usual the bad language wasn t necessary twelve extraordinary women by j macarthur i haven t quite finished this book even though i started it on holiday i picked it up at a 2nd hand bookshop and it sat on my shelf for quite a few months i thought i had done with many of the women s books but thankfully john macarthur as usual does something more than expose the womens virtues he is excellent at putting you into the culture context and really seeing the lives these women lived as well as drawing out lessons from the faithfulness mistakes an excellent book and resource i ll probably put it in our next reading roundabout at church i came home refreshed in my reading and really thankful for the ability to read not only beneficial books but reading for pure pleasure books are an amazing gift from god leave a comment the national trust july 29 2013 uncategorized elaine as a family we love the national trust we have been members for many years here in the provence it gives us free access to one of our best beaches portstewart strand and also our most popular tourist attraction the giant s causeway as well as many other great sites the real advantage of national trust membership though has to be when we cross the water to the mainland the number of houses to visit gardens to examine and things to do are endless especially in the summer months one of the best things we have found about the national trust is how family orientated they are there are almost always things to do for the kids at all the properties we visit which make the visit to say a large house much more exciting for younger members of the party we normally plan the route we take on our journey round which properties we want to visit even if you don t spend the whole day at a property they are some of the best spots for a picnic you can get details of all properties from the national trust website they have extensive information on opening times disabled access etc here i am just going to highlight those we visited this year and what we particularly enjoyed about each on the way to devon we stopped for our picnic at knightshayes court we had visited this property a couple of years ago and it s impressive kitchen garden made us keen to return we had our picnic on the lawn and watched chef from the local college make soup there was also live music the weather was so hot we chose not to go inside the property but just took a slow walk round the walled kitchen garden we love to see the kitchen gardens at nt properties and knightshayes would certainly be one of the best we ve come across the best would probably be at tyntesfield en route from devon to london we stopped for our picnic at dyrham park on another very hot day we had our picnic near the car so we wouldn t have to carry it then we visited this lovely deer park and saw quite a few deer the house itself was amazing though again because of the weather and time constraints we didn t go inside the chapel gardens to the rear and ponds were worthy of many pictures we were thankful for the courtesy bus back to the car park there is also an excellent play area in the woods at this property this one would be a definite to return to one day to see the inside of the house we didn t visit any more properties until our london stay was over and we were heading out of london on the way home joel and i had visited osterley park a few years ago when he won a competition with the national trust and he had to attend osterley park for a photoshoot we were keen to return and show the rest of the family these impressive grounds again it was warm probably the warmest day of our trip there was much happening in osterley park as it was family fun day endless games crafts and things for the kids to try out very well done to the national trust on the organisation of these events we were so glad we choose to stop there on sunday afternoon we were always going to be at a loose end we worshipped with solihull presbyterian church epc and were keen to keep on the move we had our picnic under the shade of another tree in little morton hall then went to explore little morton hall is a tudor property and just delightful there wasn t a lot to see inside so we lay on the lawn and read books again there were a few games scattered on the lawn for the kids and they entertained themselves in what i think we will all remember as a lovely afternoon there was a lady showing the kids how to make handmade soap so we ended up with 4 bars of soap for our trouble the last day in england was monday and again we had preplanned to visit tatton park the house here isn t open on a monday but it didn t matter to us as the grounds were vast the gardens were beautiful we had a lovely walk and the kids did the peter rabbit treasure trail it really was fun on yet another hot day the picnic was courtesy of m s but the location was the same a shady tree national trust property right by the play area which the kids proceeded to play in for about 2 hours these last few days of holiday were great to view the nice gardens and relax after the busyness of the london part of our trip we never fail to be impressed by what the national trust are doing have you a favourite national trust property leave a comment thoughts on legoland july 24 2013 uncategorized elaine legoland what can i say it s the sort of thing that jp and i would quite easily not have done generally we are glad we did the kids enjoyed it and talk about it a lot our trip was on a tight budget but we got our tickets on a tesco deal which enabled us all to get in for 51 00 of tesco clubcard vouchers i can honestly say that we wouldn t have paid the standard rates to go there but we re glad we had a cheap opportunity to take the kids our kids have never been to a theme park type place before unless you count longleat which we did a few years ago note to anyone who doesn t know longleat is absolutely nothing like legoland so it went fairly well as with other days we packed a picnic and had loads of bottled frozen water it was a hot day but we had already had much warmer days in central london as i say the kids thoroughly enjoyed it we took loads of pictures and in all likely hood won t go back as they say it s all about making memories i have to say the staff that we had interaction with were all very friendly and helpful at all times they seemed to be moving the queues along as quickly as they could the park was exceptionally clean and well maintained it really is a fun filled day for a family tips for anyone planning a trip to legoland our ticket was a day ticket for us this was adequate even though the chances of seeing going on everything in one day would be fairly slim if you want to be sure of doing everything at least once you really need more than a day ticket if you are on a budget you definitely want to have your own lunch even though there are loads of eating places ice cream stops and coffee venders etc we bought ice creams and coffee which were expensive enough the park closes at 6 00pm but the thing is all the rides stopped about this time but you could still look around when it turned 6 we went to view the miniland and played for ages in the park that way you could use the earlier time for the rides we were tipped off that the queues to get out of the carpark at 6 were unreal so it is actually much wiser to wait much later to leave the shops at the entrance were also all open long after 6 we left after 7 and there was still a bit of a tail back to get onto the main road likewise for central london i wouldn t be bothered with a buggy wait till they are old enough to walk if waiting is not your thing be warned the queues can be long most of the locals we met said the queues were not long as the english school holidays hadn t started i m glad we weren t there later there is a facility to queue jump but i can just imagine what it costs one thing we probably did wrong was to start at the top it may have been wiser to head on down the hill to some of the things further from the entrance first which would probably have had less queues then work your way back if you ve been to legoland feel free to leave your own tips for others view all 4 comments london with kids july 24 2013 uncategorized elaine so the second half of our trip was spent in london for a week a friend asked me the other day would you do london again with kids why would he ask this i think it s probably because of the busyness the heat the crowds the underground etc etc etc and so the question is would we i d say yes and i know hubby would too our youngest is 3 almost 4 and a good walker there was never any hope that i was going to do london transport with a buggy so this was probably the first year we would have done this trip the older 3 are thankfully great walkers too and don t tend to grumble about miles covered on foot i think they appreciated and were thankful for the opportunity and took in all they could no 4 did really well he did get tired generally on the return journey thankfully he did get the odd carry but we were very pleased at how he coped with the extra walking in the heat and of course ice cream did help my tips on travelling in london with kids if you are going to london with kids for a holiday i d say either do it when they are small enough to be on your back front or big enough to walk we bought a backpack style strap before we left and i d say it was money well spent it also turned out useful in devon for crab fishing carry bottles of frozen water when travelling you really never know how long you may have to sit on the bus train due to delays etc we carried bottles of frozen water as well as our picnics every day stop have a break be it a picnic or a stop for ice cream coffee kids are great at recharging their energy if they just lie on the grass for a while paddle in a pool or even just get 5 minutes in a play park to remember they don t need to sleep take the best routes some of my friends pointed me in the direction of the most direct routes which may not be the most obvious talk to someone who knows london to make sure you aren t sitting on the underground in the middle of summer for unnecessary time avoid rush hour and there abouts the first day we arrived in victoria station just after rush hour and things were still very hectic it probably wasn t a good first experience of the underground for some of the kids we let 2 tube trains pull out before we got on the third plan and enjoy there is so much to see and do and remember it s a holiday it has to be fun don t overdo it leave a comment what we accomplished july 17 2013 uncategorized elaine my hubby is a wonderful holiday planner really he has lists and

uncategorized elaine titanic a ship of dreams thanks to christian focus for sending me this book titanic a ship of dreams to review living in northern ireland i hear a lot about the titanic and it is especially interesting to read because it is the 100 th anniversary of its building sinking this is the story of john harper and his adventures on the titanic with his daughter annie jessie nana harper on the journey they made many friends and saved many lives not only from the sea but also from hell his wife annie died shortly after nana was born i liked the way the book didn t start at the boarding of the titanic instead it started at a train station and i liked the way the author incorporated famous people into the story the most moving part would have to be the sinking and how john harper saved many lives and even appealed to people while he was in the water i thought it was a very good book and an interesting story people ought to know about what john harper did i would thoroughly recommend this book to all young people you can read more about john harper here thanks again to c...
