Last week we spent two nights with SIM-UK (and N.Europe) in Wetheringsett Manor, near Stowmarket. SIM has field offices and sending offices, and although our sending office is SIM France, SIM-UK does handle some things for us, such as finances coming from the UK and communications with UK supporters. So since we didn't know the UK staff very well, they invited us to come and visit.
We stayed in the (very comfortable!) guesthouse, and gave a presentation of our work at the Wednesday morning Day of Prayer. It was good to get a better idea of who works at SIM-UK and what they do. We were made to feel very welcome, and also enjoyed relaxing in the grounds - the boys particularly liked the trampoline in the playground! And we admired the typical English cottages in the village, the horses and foals in the fields, and a hedgehog in one of the gardens! We even visited the Mid-Suffolk Steam Railway ... it was closed but we were allowed to go and have a look around anyway.

Dear Hilary,
the colour of the letters in your last post is almost illisible
Merci, cher Beau-Papa! Je l'ai changée!
