Sometimes you just get lucky

My room here is on the far side, looking towards the beach and Hottentots Holland mountains

Oh I could get all painful and write about times on trips spent in uncomfortable or in less than salubrious accomodations - after all they are missionary trips for the most part ... but I will resist the temptation and just say how blessed I feel this week to be in a place like I am actually in. It is a really nice place to be, and certainly has a much better view than my usual office window that looks out onto the grey wall of the next-door BT workshops buildings. Next week we will be meeting up with Michelle, Jason, and their boys, in a much more modest holiday flat, but who cares as long as we can be with family.
