A bit of Snow in Silvan

We had an unusually cold snap on Sunday morning. There was a flurry of snow while we were in church which continued for over an hour. When we got home it had settled on the ground - we found it really pretty. I had to take some photos of course ! This is our vege-patch. It is surprising that it felt colder before (and after) it snowed . It hadn't been this cold for over 20 years .

Vi at 100 !

Vi Wallace is a friend of ours from Good News Fellowship. We celebrated her 100th birthday at a restaurant last week . What an amazing lady ! She can't see as well as before but she recognised us and was so happy to see us after quite some years - there's nothing wrong with her brain.

Bollywood Bling Bash

Amrit's 40th birthday was a really special occasion. Most people got dressed in "Indian "outfits. Here Bendix , Hank and John Jessen are chatting with Adjab, the real Indian, who didn't dress up. Amrit looked stunning in a Sari .Annemarie and I wore Punjabi suits and Birgit went to quite an effort too.
Tim looked like a prince.The little girls also wore saris. We were surrounded with Bollywood music all evening which just added to the atmosphere. There were about 120 people at the party - Tim and Amrit have friends all over the place!


Pretty in Ponchos

I've been knitting so that I'de stay awake in the evening - that's what happens when you get to my age ! Anjali and Kiran love their ponchos so that is a real bonus.
