Thamesmead, Enfield & Acton

On Saturday Liz and I took a nice long walk at a Nature Reserve at Rickmansworth, not very far from the old London School of Theology. This was one photo I took there of a Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus).


Yesterday we headed early for the other side of the Thames, going through the Blackwall Tunnel, and arriving 45 minutes early for the lovely service at the Emmanuel Baptist Church in South Thamesmead, London, where we were warmly received by Pastors Vic and Lona Lambert and all the church. It was a great time together in church followed by a lovely Caribbean style lunch.


Late afternoon we took the Woolwich Ferry to get north of the Thames again and head for Enfield where we spent a beautiful evening with my niece Emily, her husband Jon and their gorgeous little boy Raphael. We got home fairly late but it had been a great day. PTL!


Today we spent a large part of the day in the Borough of Acton - first of all visiting our darling son's grave at the cemetery who died as a little baby back in 1975 - our second child. From there we went next door to Gunnersbury Park where we had a very nice long walk.
