Izibeya, Chimuanya and a happy wedding day

Chimuanya's parents with Izi and Chimuanya

Last Saturday was a joyful time in God’s presence followed by a fun celebration. Even the weather celebrated the happy day.

I was really glad that Izi wanted to get married at the Lighthouse – the church he grew up in – and delighted to hear the happy couple’s vows.

Doug Hypolite – resting in Christ

Our dear brother, Douglas, died Friday 24 April and his funeral is at the Lighthouse Baptist Church at 2pm Wednesday 6 May.

He quietly served in the Lighthouse since his conversion and baptism nearly twenty years ago. We will miss him but will be able to trust him to the same God Whom he trusted.

depArture Web Links

The most popular post on this blog is about depArture Art Centre in Limehouse because people landed here after a Google search.

DepArtures’ own web site took longer to be born than a baby elephant but is finally up.

Unfortunately, googling for it is difficult because it appears pages down the list and they have decided to give it a site name which does not match their name and has an Indian domain ID.  Search for it using Google India and it comes tops! Oh well…..

Since you might be looking for it here is the link to depArture art centre, Limehouse (http://depart.in).

And here art links to a couple of videos.  These replace the ones in an earlier post which are now defunct.

A day out with Sir Charles

Sir Charles ponders the consequence of disobeying a road sign

My son’s horseless carriage was available for a few days so I suggested to Sir Charles Westgarth that he might like to join Mrs Semper and myself in taking the air of Kent and Sussex.

Sir Charles’ 97th birthday approaches – the exact date being a matter of National Security – but he was still sprightly enough to wander around Maidstone and Rye and serve as arbitrator in the navigational disagreements among Mr and Mrs Semper.

He also had no problem demolishing a plate of Fish and Chips near Rye Harbour.

The sun was nearly seen on two occasions and we only had one light shower.  I think my letter of complaint to the Meteorological Office might be bearing fruit.  I hope my valet has pressed some T-shirts.

Congratulations Tom and Alice

A proud moment for the family

Thursday took us to Queen Mary, University of London to witness the graduation of Alice (1st) and Tom (Upper 2nd). Alice won a couple of prizes and Tom was most improved student of their department. Tom’s Mum, Clare, and Polly, his sister, were also there for the day.
