A few years ago for Sarah’s birthday present I booked a VIP balloon flight as she has always wanted to go up in one. There were a lot of cancellations last minute due to poor weather but finally one weekend we got to go on our adventure. The weather as you can see was not very clear, but it was amazing! ๐Ÿ˜€

Quote 4 2day ๐Ÿ’ฌย 

“The Cross is a picture of violence, yet the key to peace, a picture of suffering, yet the key to healing, a picture of death, yet the key to life. –ย David Watson

Epsom town centre was blessed with the incredibly moving reenactment of the events of Good Friday. It was really emotional to be apart of it. The actors were fantastic and it really drove home the message of how Jesus suffered and died for our sins.

A big thanks to my Christian brother Ben for taking my camera and getting some great shots of the costumes and the cross for me as I was in the crowd and couldn’t see anything! ๐Ÿ˜€

We spent a morning visiting the beautiful village of Shere walking around the Church building, blacksmiths & the few shops.

Description

On the summit of Leith Hill is an 18th century Gothic tower, with panoramic views northwards to London and the English Channel to the south. Richard Hull of nearbyย Leith Hill Placeย built “Prospect House” in the years 1765 to 1766, later to become known as Leith Hill Tower, with the intention of raising the hill above 1,000ย ft (305ย m) above sea level. The tower is 19.5 metres (64ย ft) high and consisted of two rooms “neatly furnished”, with aย Latininscription above the door announcing that it had been built for not only his own pleasure, but also for the enjoyment of others. Hull provided visitors with prospect glasses, similar to a smallย telescope, through which to survey the extensive views towardsย Londonย and theEnglish Channel, each some 25 miles (40ย km) away, and thirteenย countiesย on a very clear dayโ€ฆ.read moreโ€ฆ.
