Super Hero has Heart Attack!


Sorry if the title of this post unduly alarmed you!

This week the primary Faith in God activity involved learning about the Priesthood.  Megan, one of the young women in the Branch, taught a fantastic lesson on super Heroes and compared Priesthood holders to them due to their Priesthood Power.

We then discussed how much our Priesthood leaders do for us and showed our appreciation by giving  our Branch President a "Heart Attack"

Birthday Bash

This story starts about a year ago when calvin found a leaflet for a new Barber's shop in St Clears.
He took the boys in to give it a try and discovered Neil and Nicci in their garage surrounded by Americana and the warmest welcome you could ever imagine.  

 On their next visit they discovered that Neil cuts ladies hair after 5pm by appointment only....result...I have serious hairdresser trauma and get quite distressed about the whole process. Since finding this gem we have all been totally satisfied with every visit. 
Anyway, if you read the reviews on link above you will see the kind of people they are.

They shared with us and others their idea for creating a special pop up restaurant in the shop for invited groups.  We decided to book them and their idea for my 40th celebration,  Nicci gave us a huge choice of menus and went out of her way to include special dietary requirements.  Thats the kind of service you can't get in a chain!  We invited 3 couples to join us none of which had met before.  After brief intros at our house we headed off to St Clears.

This is what we found!


And here we all are before the marvellous Moroccan meal that Nicci had created for us.


You would never know that Neil had been cutting hair in there until 3pm!


I know this is a bit blurry but the atmosphere once the light was fading was fabulous.

The food was out of this world, every dish was delicious and the table fell silent as we took in the flavours.  Here is our menu.  



Truly a memorable evening for all, making new friends, enjoying beautiful cuisine in a fascinating setting and meeting the ever attentive and warm couple who hosted us.

Thanks Nicci and Neil, we won't forget this evening in a hurry and I'm sure we will be back.

Birthdays Begin

Dad and Martha got to celebrate this year while we were at the Temple.  
Martha's first birthday away from home.
(she almost had one before but the ash cloud cleared and we got home from the USA just in time)



Present opening


The traditional photo of the two birthday people.


Cupcakes was the order of the day as they travel happily!
These were made with Mary Berry's lemon tray bake recipe and extra added lemon curd in the icing!!

Happy Birthday Both.



Trip 3- More

We try to go to the Temple at least 3 or 4 times a year.  It takes about 4 1/2 hours to get there but it is so rewarding because of the peace we can feel there.

Even though we have been many times, we all take photos every time!  

These are a couple of Martha's shots this time, maybe with some help from dad but if its on your camera you can claim it as yours!





So here we all are at the end of our visit together.
Thanks everyone for making the trip so special and memorable.

See you next year!







Trip 3- I love to see the Temple

We travelled down to London to our Temple. There we met up with family members and had a really lovely time.  the first of many of these family trips hopefully.
