Abundance of Rohododendrons

... try saying that with your teeth out.

We were at Crombie Country Park in Angus for a leaving do - a BBQ - for friends who are off to New Zealand in a month or so. It is a family of six - Mum, Dad and four girls. Dad is an eye surgeon and has an opportunity to study a technique which is very new. They will be gone for at least a year, depending what they do after their spell in NZ. The weather was fine and 60/70 friends and family turned up. I was very proud of my daughter-in-law, who did all the cooking!

While I was there I took the opportunity to blip the amazing display of Rhododendron bushes. If you would like to see more - see them on Flikr

Earlier this morning, I made a brief Skype link to my Pastor friend in Uganda - who was conducting Baptisms in a nearby river. It was awesome to be able to see the candidates enter the river to be fully immersed as a sign of their faith in Jesus. There was lots of singing and dancing!

Enjoy the rest of the Bank holiday, if you are having it, whatever the weather.
