Romantic weekend

Liz and I have had a lovely few days with the family at Green Pastures celebrating the 58th anniversary of our relationship as we started going out together on Good Friday 1967. We first met in London in October 1966 (the year England won the football world cup). We then met again in Southampton in January 1967. We started going out together on Good Friday 1967 when Liz and her brother Sam came to our house in North Kensington for lunch, after a service at Peniel Chapel where their father Pastor Frank Dyer had preached. In the afternoon I took them in my Dad's Ford Zephyr to see Buckingham Palace, Regents Park and London Zoo. On the Easter Monday Liz came again to London for the Elim special service at the Royal Albert Hall, after which bidding her and her cousin Jose farewell by the coach I gave Liz a gentle kiss on the forehead! 😘

This morning we had great fun hunting the Easter eggs at Green Pastures. All went off beautifully. I also read 23 chapters of 'The Murder Game' by Tom Hindle and played and won 6 games of chess. We visited a couple, Julio and Joana, who we baptized at the Carnival Camp. It was lovely to chat with them and pray with them too. This couple got married one day after us!
