Tang Yen

Today is the day of reunion for Chinese calendar, a traditional ginger soup - Tang Yen will be the main dish. Some says you must eat as many as your age number :-) It surely warms us up during this icy winter in Bristol Land.

Euro-Christmas Celebrations

Eden's school is teaching them and having them at plays about how different European countries celebrate their Christmas. We are proud of him as the only one that cited his lines without referring to any paper :-)
He totally enjoys this festive month - school disco and dinner, church parties and of course his bid day to come!!

Ice

Are we now in Ice-Age??

See the icy web compared to the one I took 2 days ago.

We are definitely turning into icy apples :-)

Eden Singing choir in St Ambrose Church on a very misty and bitter cold Sunday

Spider Webs in Winter

DB, remember you took one before? Too bad my iPhone is not that clear to capture them.

Library keeps us warm

I think I am copying J.K Rowling, she kept herself warm in cafe, we do it in the local St George library while waiting the kids finsh their schools.
I do my work there too :-)

Food Distribution this winter

Our church has monthly food distribution for people living on the street, called Soup Run
I hope the 'Soup Run' offers a warm of Christ to the homeless people on the street. It will record -8C this week!!

I am thankful and grateful of what we have as family.

Advent

Dear was reading the initiation prayer, and Adam lit the first candle of Hope for the first week of Advent in the worship service.

My version of chocolate banana cake !

My weather ranting !!

This year it came so early !!! and our house is like a freezer due to the high ceiling and 3 walls facing the wind!!!

Our Banana Cake

Effort and courtesy from two 'rotten' old Mr and Mrs Apple :-)

All you need is Love

iTunes reconnects the magic I first watched this show.
Wonder any Beatles fan out there at my age?
My dad and mum have quite a collection of their albums.

Says Cheese ! My first Cheese cake

Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King: Liverpool

I am totally awe-struck by this church in liverpool. It has brilliant architecture and art elements that I first see in a Catholic church.

Where did I go? Beatles home: Liverpool

A very lively town, there is a chinese town so you can see there are a lot of chinese around.
Too bad I didn't see many 70s hippies :-)
I am glad I am here for a conference and main highlight was dinning in Jamie's restaurant. Dear was so envy of me.

Fall - Winter

Well, now it gets dark after 5ish and rain comes more often.
I am going to talk more about weather from now on :-P

Bonfire Night: Bristol

My first baking session

Harvest Bread

We celebrated Harvest worship not long again and I was amazed with the 'harvest bread' we shared after the service. Noticed the tiny mouse at the bottom :-)
