After a whole month in England having a wonderful time seeing family and friends, and eating far too much, it's back to island life. We spent most of yesterday at our church community centre which we've been helping to create over the past few months.
When we started it was an empty couple of rooms that needed a complete makeover. In the absence of a reality TV team it's been a major job but the end is in sight. Guy climbed up a very, very high ladder to fit speakers, a projector and screen (following instructions from Father Avraam!) . I made helpful comments.
There are big plans for the centre - apart from coffee after services and holding meetings and talks there will be a small library, youth groups and a summer creche. And when the kitchen is finished we will provide meals for some of the islanders. I wish I'd taken photos before we started as the change is amazing. But this is what it's like so far:
