Before I say any more on my travels I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my tales. Knowing that you care enough to see what I'm up to means a great deal to me and my thoughts are always with all my family and friends back home and I am really looking forward to seeing you all again for the wedding. (And give presents for those who asked nicely :o) If I may I'd like to I ask for prayers for continued safe travel and God's guidance in times ahead - specifically Malawi and the role of this child at the start of next year
I had a brief look of Wales by spending a couple of days at it's capital. Words cant express the breathtaking effort to make Cardiff's castle design and decoration as amazing as it was. From the childrens walls painted with Aesop's fables (to bring humility) to stain glass windows of father Abraham's stories in the bedroom. The ladies tea room had gold plated decorations, an internal fountain and by itself is worth 30 million. The Welsh culture were very friendly and surprisingly patriotic. They hate the English of course and the biggest rift comes from the fact their flag (the dragon) is the only omission from the union jack.
Wimbledon was a lot of fun. Camped out all night to wait to buy tickets in the morning. Saw Hewitt and Federer both win their matches but they didn't compare to the match on court 18. Isnar and Mahut played to 59 games each on the day we were there. Titanic effort from both players and despite the length of the game (and the fact it was tennis we were watching) every point was watched with excitement and anticipation. I'm chuffed to have had the pleasure of watching these two gladiators battle it out and to have been there for such a historical contest.

Hey Bobby,
ReplyDeleteWe continue to enjoy your blog - thanks.
I looked for you in the crowd at Wimbeldon, but only briefly as my main focus was on the players ;-). So glad you got there and obviously thoroughly enjoyed yourself!
See you at the wedding :-)
