Hi all Just wanted to share with you a few things Sarah & i got up to one our Birthday’s. Sarah’s Birthday is 4 days before mine, so we enjoyed celebrating with the help of loved ones. 😀
As Sarah has another “Charcot Foot” and is wearing an air-cast again, we knew it would be difficult getting around but you can’t keep Sarah down that easy! 😀
⬆ Sarah’s Musical Nails ⬆
First things first….Sarah went to have her nails done. lol 😀
On Monday…..Me, Sarah & Vini went to see the extremely talented “Duet Philharmonic Orchestra”.
On Tuesday(Sarah’s Birthday)…..our loving sister in Christ Sara treated us to a day-trip to Littlehampton so Sarah could have her Birthday doughnuts while listening to the sound of the sea.

We had a fantastic time and it was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for enjoying a tray of chips with salt & vinegar on the beach! 😀
I invited lots of our church friends for an italian Birthday surprise meal for Sarah. It was a lovely evening and was enjoyed by all.

I started helping out at the church youth group 6 months ago and i’ve been so surprised with their desire for God and to know more about Him. It’s been an amazing 6 months of Theology and sharing, praying and growing deeper in our Faith.
At the end of this term they organised a evening of Bowling and sharing a meal together which i was really looking forward to as i’ve not been bowling in over 15 years! 😀

As i couldn’t see the ball, the lane or the skittles…..Sarah and the youth were fantastic guides and assistants so i could be(and feel) included in this fun evening!
After bowling we went for a lovely italian meal.

Sarah’s Dad and 2 of her brothers came down for a 3 day visit and as they love playing music i asked Phil(guitarist i Worship with at church) if we could jam in his fantastic music lodge?! 😀

Wow, as i’d never played bass before Phil let me loose on his bass guitar. I never knew just how much fun it would be, what a Birthday treat! 😀
Wow, what a week so far! Sarah’s Dad & 2 brothers had to get back to Doncaster, while Phil picked us up to go to Ben’s home where he was making my fave “Keebies”(don’t know the spelling) which are Brazilian lamb koftes, Mmmmmm. It was another great day with the church family and i got to eat(and share) my Fallout 4 birthday cake from my lovely Wife Sarah!! 😀
⬆ Me and my Fallout 4 cake ⬆
Thank You!!!!!
I just want to say an enormous thanks to everyone involved in making a truly memorable birthday celebration for Sarah & i! 😀
If any of you are reading this…..you really don’t know how much your love and kindness means to us, it moves us very deeply, thank you!!
Spirit is thicker than blood…..
Matthew 12:49-50 Amplified Bible (AMP)
And stretching out His hand toward His disciples [and all His other followers], He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven [by believing in Me, and following Me] is My brother and sister and mother.”

Sunday was especially blessed for me, as not only did i get to drum with the worship team, but i was asked to play a reflective song on guitar with my lovely wife Sarah on flute & Sara (the voice) singing. I chose the song “In Your Hands” by Unspoken (see video below) and shared a little about worry, and how we need to trustGod and have more confidence in this promise to let his peace, the peace that’s beyond all understanding to guard our hearts and minds, as we offer everything (not some things) in prayer.
After the service a group of us went down to the coast at Littlehampton and had a great day walking along the beach after eating chips then doughnuts! It was fantastic spending time with sisters & brothers and i felt truly blessed! 🙂

In Your Hands Lyrics
The dawn is breaking and I can hear Your whisper in the breeze The world is waking and I am here to meet You on my knees When I’m with You my soul finds rest Cause I can leave it in Your hands
The day keeps coming pulling me a different million ways I’m always running but never seem to catch the things I chase When I’m with You my soul finds rest Cause I can leave it in Your hands
(Chorus) Every sorrow, I leave it in Your hands Every sickness, I leave it in Your hands All my failures, I leave them in Your hands Amen, I leave it in Your hands
So I am laying the weight of all these burdens at Your feet No more waiting, cause You’ve already won my victories In Jesus my soul finds rest Cause I can leave it in Your hands
(Chorus 2) Every promise, I leave it in Your hands Every healing, I leave it in Your hands And my future, I leave it in Your hands Amen, I can leave it in Your hands
(Bridge ) It’s Your hands that form the mountains Your hands set boundaries for the seas And in Your hands You hold tomorrow The same hands that took the nails for me
(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)

After travelling up to Derby and spending the day with “Our Friends The Wigley Family” Sunday came and we woke up to a lovely view over Derby.
⇧ View from our hotel room ⇧
We then headed to the train station to travel to Doncaster to see Sarah’s family.
⇧ Sarah sat in the train station café ⇧
Little did we know that the Tour de France was in Yorkshire on this day, but to our surprise the reservations were overloaded and the train was full so we got upgraded to first class (for free) which was empty! 🙂
⇧ SARAH’S FIRST CLASS!! ⇧
We arrived in Doncaster for Marshall’s birthday dinner at Cosmo’s where we met all of the family. We had a lovely meal and it was great to catch up with them all! 🙂

After arriving back in Derby that evening, Sarah & i went to our fave italian Zizzi’s for a lovely meal. I also got to have the lovely chocolate, banana & ice cream calzone, which Sarah stole most of! 🙂
Then it was Monday 7th July our 7th wedding anniversary where we would enjoy “The Heights Of Abraham” at Matlock Bath.
We we arrived at the top we found a tower (which was too dark for us to climb) but it looked nice! 🙂
And i met a new friend…….

I once again pretended to be a photographer and went with Sarah to Cisswood House in Horsham to a supporter reception to interview some inspiring people. The day was fantastic and we met some truly amazing people who are simply inspiring, and also heard about some of the great services provided by RNIB
