Donard and Galgorm

It's been another quiet week on the blog - last week we were on holiday, so apart from a few pre-ordered posts, I didn't think about the blog at all. Didn't go too far away, just a few relaxing days in Newcastle at the Slieve Donard enjoying the spa and the view of where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.





Then on Friday we had a family wedding, with Jonathan and Paula pledging lifelong commitment. A great glimpse of the covenant love of Christ for his bride in the wedding ceremony, and a heartwarming reminder of his commitment to us which will never be broken.



The reception was up in the Galgorm, a place I'd never been before, and one that was very good, as well as the interesting grounds with waterfalls and weirs and canals feeding a generator.

Today it's back to work for us, and just getting into the routine again before the Rector goes on his holidays at the end of the week. There may well be a more regular blogging pattern emerging too, but we'll see how it works out as the week progresses. The 365 photo-a-day challenge is now into the second half, although I've been resorting to iPhone captures again. Must use big camera!
