Caravan

Last week, Noah and I drove to Birmingham and brought home a 20 year old caravan. 

Its got 5 berths, a little bathroom, running water etc, and we hope it will open up England to us, as it will provide us with cheap accommodation. PLUS we have bought tickets to next year's New Wine, and are already looking forward to spending a week next August with our church family and meeting up with old friends...Olly

Sherborne transformed

RIGHT NOW, Fox Searchlight have taken over the centre of our home town, Sherborne, and have transformed it into a set for their latest movie, Thomas Hardy's "Far From the Madding Crowd". The crew have been at work for 2 or 3 days already, and this afternoon the spotlights are being set up. The RVs and caravans for the actors haven't arrived yet - they have parking spaces reserved for tomorrow - but the Horse Crew are already installed, as can be seen by the horse droppings on the street (which Libby thinks were put there as props...). Below, our 900 year old abbey with the 1901 set...

...complete with the turn-of-the-century street fair:

Below, Half Moon Street with the shops being transformed into old fashioned grocers, haberdashers and iron mongers. Brown tape has been put over the modern window frames, and artificial doors are being placed over the modern doors. Before filming starts, all the TV arials will be taken down too...

How exciting. Olly

Baptising Anna

Yesterday we baptised Anna, at our church in Yeovil. We are very proud of her, especially that she still lives for Christ despite being back in the real world. Thank you for all your good-wishes via Facebook.

And I got wet too! It was a busy service, with 9 baptisms in all. Olly
