Merry Christmas


We'd like to take this opportunity to share with you our devotion and love for our Saviour Jesus Christ. We have a testimony of Him. We know He was born of lowly birth, living a life of service, miracles and love. We know our Heavenly Father sent His Son Jesus Christ to suffer beyond what we can possibly recognize so we could find and have peace in this world and return to Him again. We know that the atoning sacrifice of our Saviour and Redeemer was the greatest act in all history. We know He lives today and knows us personally. We are blessed beyond words.

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, overflowing with love and
the assurance that Jesus is the Christ, and He lives!

Love, Sandi and Tim

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Happy 60th to Tim



Sticky toffee anything is Tim’s favourite so Sandi whips up a Sticky Toffee Date Cake the night before Tim’s birthday to kick off the celebration.


After a leisurely breakfast of German-style pancakes and champagne and orange juice we set off for Vancouver for the day. Happy birthday to Tim!


We’re under the big top to see Cirque du Soleil’s Amaluna. Très Canadienne, eh?






You know you’re getting old when they only give you one candle to blow out.


Across the pond in England Tim’s twin sister, Tessa, is having her own bit of fun celebrating with the family.


Yum, croquembouche (made by Tim’s sis-in-law, Jane Lovell).

You remember when the Beatles were number one
When two and six would buy some fun
Drape suits were cool and crepe shoes snappy
You remember the days when gay meant happy
You woke this morning, something strange in bed
A prostate problem, now youve wet the bed
Your body shapes changed, there's no denyin
Your skin all wrinkled it could use an iron

Cause youre sixty, yeah youre sixty
Youve reached the ripe old age of big six-O
Now youre sixty, you know youre sixty
When your bones start creaking as you cross the floor

You think youre cool and young at heart
But now you’re called a boring, old fart
With a black and white TV you were king of the road
And you remember Coronation Streets first episode
You cringe at Bob the Builder and the Tweenies
Yet you used to sing along with the Ovaltineys
You wont use a mobile phone or change your ways
No, its never gonna be like them good, old days

You try to pretend youre still twenty-one
But you remember when Jimmy Young was number one
Now dont despair or get annoyed
Cause youll only flair up your hemorrhoids
Your 60th birthdays just another day
You’ll get over it soon or so they say
Try and walk tall, dont ever give it a mention
Cause its almost time to collect your pension

Happy 60th Tim and Tessa!
