Back at home base

It has been a crazy busy week, starting in Nelson with Zach's soccer tournament and finishing back home Sunday night with Assembly in Christchurch in between. Amazing what a difference one week in spring makes in the garden - tulips and anemones making a big colourful splash!
I picked up three kids from Lincoln yesterday afternoon after dropping Marijon and Erin (my sister in law and niece)in the city centre from the airport. Navigating Christchurch is rather fraught at the moment, parts of the one way are down to one lane and I've forgotten the direct route to anywhere in any case! But we got there in the end, packed up the van with luggage and extras and made it back to Timaru where Katarina had made cooked tea for us!!! Yay! I do like having capable teenagers!
Assembly was one of the most positive overall that I have been around the edges of. Amazing! A group from the Korean church in Christchurch led worship Sunday night which was stunning.
