Wales- England Trip Part 3


This is part 3 in my series of posts about our England trip. 

This was our first time to see Beautiful Wales. I was excited.
After several hours of driving, we finally arrived in Wales. (3 hours to be exact)
This is us looking out at an old Roman village just outside of Newport.
                         
                                                                  The view

             Lydia, glad to get out of the car and stretch her legs.




    A dear brother and his sister, who gave us a delicious picnic lunch, a great selection of old books, and sweet fellowship in the Lord.

                                      Automatic door at St. Fagan's National History Museum.
                                                                Cardiff, Wales.

These windows  were cut out of the wall in an old building made out of stone. The walls were so thick that it was nice and cool inside!




                                  This was an interesting history of different uses for pigs in Wales.
                 In the old days, people were so industrious not wasting anything! "Waste not, want not."

                                                    Mum and Lydia in the forest at the museum.






                                         I thought this made an interesting picture.
                                  This was inside the front hallway of an old schoolhouse at the museum.

                      Can any of my readers tell me what these are used for? They must be some kind of school item.

                                  "CLOGS are the best type of protective industrial footwear..."

                                   There was a craftsman in this workshop making custom clogs.

                                         Anna and Sarah walking at St. Fagan's Museum.
                   There was a lovely forest to walk in on our way to the outdoor exhibits and buildings.
                                   
                                                                   local flora

               St. Anne's Lace. I took this photo just as the sun was starting to go down. Isn't the light beautiful?



                                  Lydia pretending to cook inside a small yurt/tent at the museum.

                                           The doors were just the right height for her!

Happenings in my home...

“The same Jesus Who turned water into wine can transform your home, your life, your family, and your future. He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation.”    ~ Adrian Rogers “A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian… and most of all, his family ought to know.”     ~ D. L. Moody                                                                                                   I just started reading "The God Who is There" by Francis Schaeffer. It is an excellent book.                                   This cat has been hanging out by our back door, and w...

Jesus Christ - and We

Jesus Christ- and We Christ has no hands but our hands ,   to do His work today; He has no feet but our feet   to lead men in His way; He has no tongue but  our tongues to tell men how He died, He has no help but our help   to bring them to His side. We are the only Bible,  the careless world will read; We are the sinners' gospel,  we are the scoffers' creed; We are the Lord's last message,  Written in deed and word- what if the line is crooked,  what if the type is blurred?

What if our tongues are speaking, of things His lips would spurn, How can we hope to help Him,  Unless from Him we learn? By Annie Johnson Flint  (1862-1932)    I was going through my old school folders and found this great poem. It is so true. We as Christians are to show the world how Christ would act and ta...
