I'm going away on Sunday for a week with my sister, to the Lakes. We won't have internet access, so I won't be around at all.

I'll be back on Saturday, so I'll try and catch up on Sunday.

If you have blog posts to send me, still send them! I'll get them when I return. :)

Be good whilst I'm away. ;)

Have a great time, Lady Elanor. :D Not knowing, I have to ask what The Lakes refers to. o.O I have a sneaky suspicion that you live in England, and oh, what I wouldn't give to hop across the pond for a jaunt around the UK. One of all-time dream vacations. :D

Thank you, guys! I had a lovely, and wonderful time away. We went to lots of little towns, enjoyed getting up late, and spending quality time together. The weather was very bad some days, but we just got wet. :D And still had a great time. It's good to be home though!

For those of you who know my fear of spiders, Kathy called me the Spider Exterminator. :rofl: I attacked a great many with a brush, and finally pronounced the caravan spider free.

Our Satnav broke, so I bought a map and directed Kathy around, haha! I couldn't believe I was quite good at map reading. :P But very glad we didn't get lost. Things were very messy on the way home, there had been an accident and the A roads were closed off, so we were sent by the police through all these back roads, but people travelling in the other direction were also being sent that way; so there were massive wagons getting stuck and it was extremely scary.

Just very thankful that we were kept safe through it all. :)

I bought the first and second book from the Eragon series whilst I was away, and have been really enjoying those!

I should have been born English, I'm convinced of it. I like the accents, the quaintness of the countryside, the scenery, the fascinating history lurking around every bend, th fact that so many famous authors are English. *sigh*

Oh well, a nice long vacation is the next best thing. :D :D :D :D

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Yes, I wish I had taken some photos, the scenery was wonderful! But I forgot my camera. :P I have a Lancashire accent. I don't like it very much, but apparently it isn't very strong.

Oh, to have an accent. Well, I guess I do have one to some people, but a Coloradan accent isn't nearly as interesting as an English one. Maybe we could arrange a trade sometime. ;)
