Travels. Theories. Thoughts.

My husband and I have just returned from the Alpha weekend away. I must be very honest and say that initially we were in two minds about attending Alpha as we've both been Christians for most of our lives and we understood Alpha to be all about the basics of Christianity. How wrong we were - it's that and sooooo much more! Yes, the lessons are all about the fundamental principles of Christianity and serve as a great reminder to those who have been Christians for many years. But it's also about answering tough questions, connecting with people, exploring the meaning of life...  The part that has really blown us away is the unexpected yet amazing relationships and friendships that have forged within our group.  Our group Facilitator (middle) had the awesome privilege of baptising two ladies in our group -- in the sea! How amazing! So if you're anything like the rest of us, regardless of where you are in your walk with God, you have questions... Alph

So we're making headway and the cottage is coming along nicely. We've painted it inside, moved in the furniture and have managed to get everything on the inside ready for guests. We're now busy painting the outside and working on the garden and fence. It certainly needs a complete make-over to create privacy and a space to relax, unwind from the hectic pressure of being at the beach all day { :) } and have a braai. I've been trawling through Pinterest for some inspiration (what did we do before Pinterest!!!). Here are my three favourite pics: We are now also looking at different types of fences to create more privacy and block off the view of the neighbours wooden hut! T he back garden which is in DESPERATE need of a make-over! So watch this space as we improve on the look of the Leigh's Cottage . Love Leigh xoxo
