Thought it might be time to write a blog again....Been so so much has gone on since the last one =O Shock horror..Jo has a life!!
=P

Well, Last week Jo, Paula (Her mum), Alan (Her step-Dad), Georgie (Her older sister), Nicole (Her younger sister), Beth (Her oldest sister), Jon (Her brother-in-law through Beth) and Pippa (Their dog) all went to stay in a little cottage in Wales. =) We had a lovely time in Criccieth, North Wales. Staying in a lovely little cottage:

It housed the seven of us, and the dog of course, quite nicely.

During the week we visited friends (Rachel, David, Hannah and Jonny Retallick) Who had stayed with us the weekend beforehand. Was very fun. The week was as follows:-

Monday, A walk around the local markets. Then driving down to Black Rock Sands...where I drove the car for about three times, only stalling once and getting up to third gear!! I can't wait till October when i can drive on the roads. As Thomas VDB would say 'Beware!' =D

Tuesday. Drove into Porthmadog, parked the car, and got onto the Festiniog Steam Railway to Tanybwlch:

There we had a picnic and a walk down to a lake. Then got on the train back, which Jon, Beth, Myself and Pippa got on the last carriage and enjoyed the openness of it all! Pippa liked it especially!

Wednesday, We went to Alan's sister's house, Sarina. Was good to spend some time just chilling in their amazingly lovely converted church/house!

Thursday, We took a nice drive to a Vally somewhere not far from us. It was a bit of a rainy day! But despite this, Georgie, Beth, Nic, Pippa and I climbed up a hill...well, Beth, Nic and Pippa didn't get to the top. But Georgie and I carried on up the steep slope, only to discover the first derelict building, then a little father up and the second derelict building. Which looked as though it was once some kind of mill because it was by a stream. Maybe giving power to some other derelict buildings further up (Which we didn't go and explore). The view was lovely/amazing/incredible. It just showed the sheer awesomeness of God!

Then Friday came, we all got up early. Got in our three cars, and drove all the way to Anglesey to meet up with the Retallicks once more =) We met them, then all drove to a beach and had a lovely day at the seaside! Then they went their own way, while us seven (Plus the dog ;) went to llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch...

(Sorry if you can't see the picture very well!)

The place with the longest name in Europe!

Then us seven ourselves parted. Georgie, Nic and I went our own way from that place^^ to the Milnrow House-Party.

We got the the house-Party safe, and had a lovely time with great teaching and amazing fellowship! It was really good to see so many of my friends again =D

^^ The House-Party group (Minus Thomas who was taking the picture) on the Sunday.

Then on the Sunday we made our way home. Since then I haven't done much, except for today.

Yesterday I got a call from Mr.Lewis at Dudley zoo, asking if I could come in tomorrow (this morning) at 10:30. so this morning we set off, and got there for 10:30...only to have the interview at about 11:30!! But anyway, I went down with a few Dudley zoo people! Talked to them, they talked to me. Then I was sent back upstairs..they talked downstairs...they came back up and said that they'd like to offer me a place on the NVQ Level 3 course! So I am now going to be working at Dudley zoo in September for sure now! =)

So yes...long enough post i think!! Hope you've enjoyed all the pictures and blogging.

Blog soon!
