London in the Fall!!

Greetings my friends!! Well, it's about time for some more blog posts! Since I got back from Wales at the end of October, we've been enjoying the change of seasons (yes, it is possible to enjoy cold weather!) along with various activities, so I thought I would do a quick run through!



Hey, why not start with a bit of scenery? Here's a familiar shot from Greenwich Park looking out over the city and Canary Wharf (on the right). As you can see, the leaves were just starting to change color here!



Here's a little shot of the falling leaves from our side of the river...if this huge ship wasn't in the way, you could see Greenwich from here! :)




As you can see, walking through Greenwich Park has some nice scenery this time of year (although you can't stand around out there for too long or you'll get frostbite)!





...which is why we've started bundling up a bit! :)




As many of you know, this month we had a girls' sleepover with a few of the young gals in our church. One of the neatest things lately has been spending time with them--Maxine and Lauren (pictured here) also have a Bible study with me and Denae on Friday evenings.




Speaking of Denae, I realized I hadn't posted any pictures of her leading worship...so here she is at the Friday night Bible study!!




Along with our regular Bible studies and prayer meeting at CC Docklands, another neat thing this fall has been our monthly women's meetings! I actually had the opportunity to share at our most recent one last week, and it was such a blessing! Here's a group photo from October's meeting. All you Santa Barbara friends will probably recognize a couple familiar faces--Karen and Malia Amling! It was so nice having them visit recently! :)




Here are a few more friends at the women's get-together...including Claire and two of her daughters (who might be familiar from previous posts!).




And here's a little shot of Julia, Mitchie, and Philomena!!




Last but not least, here's a "bonus photo" of something very familiar to us all...the beloved Krispy Kreme donut! This truck was randomly driving through King's Cross train station so I figured it was worth a picture. Of course, one little donut costs almost $2 here so this photo is about as close to Krispy Kreme as I'm going to get!! :)


So there's a very brief look at autumn in London...coming later this week will be a post of our Thanksgiving extravaganza!!

I can't imagine what it must be like to be in London in the fall... and to have cold weather! It is raining here today (shocking, I know) but will probably be hot and sunny by this afternoon!! Ha! Thanks for the update- always good to hear how things are going... I looked at the pic of your women's bible study and was jealous... I'd love to sit and chat with your mom and fellowship with other ladies!
