One new minister was ordained at the EAB/ACEV annual Field Conference this year held at Itaporanga. The focus for the coming 2015/2016 year was set as ‘United we are Stronger’ based around John 17:21. Praise God that we experienced this unity at the Conference.


Statistics showed that our 85 churches remained stable in numbers (about 3,600) over the past year with an increase in members and a decrease in the number of Christians in our churches who are not yet members. People evangelized were about 200,000 and those benefitted by social action projects about 100,000. The general assembly felt the latter statistic was more realistic than the former and that the number of those evangelized was probably inflated by over ambitious estimates of those evangelized via our 8 radio ministries spread around the field. Thus for next year a set and uniform way of making these radio audience estimates was put in place. Probably a more realistic evangelism figure for this year would be around 150,000 which is still truly wonderful. PTL!

The following announcement has just been made:  “Congratulations to JOHN PHILIP MEDCRAFT. He kept the top spot for many
months. VINCENT VAN DE LUSTGRAAF finished in 2nd spot with PETER HOUSEGO
in 3rd. Thank you again for playing along with this every week. It is
all for fun but a bit of competition don’t hurt anyone. I hope you all
join in next season”.

Now your Majesty… what about the next honours list?

I am going like the clappers and without Liz around to help as she is still in João Pessoa helping Lynn, her husband and their new baby Amanda. Without Liz is very complicated but we press on!


Last night’s service was good. I feel we need to improve our praise and worship a bit though. I feel we need to move up a gear again. Anyway all went well and then my third sermon in my new series in Mark’s Gospel went fine. It was a full church as usual.


I am absolutely rushed off my feet preparing for the annual Field Conference to be held in Itaporanga on Friday and Saturday. I have been on the phone so much to different pastors chasing up different details and items of information for our annual report. Tomorrow will be more of the same! And I need to prepare next Sunday’s sermon by Thursday and the Bible study for Thursday as when I get back from the Conference I will be both exhausted and without time for preparation.


Baby Amanda is slowly progressing and is slowly getting in to breast feeding gear and more awake today as she takes in the fact that she has been born! 


Thanks for all your prayer on her behalf and on behalf of all of us in these incredible busy and important days.


With one match to play I remain in first place in the QPR prediction league so it will be fun if I manage to win it! http://qprtillidie-predictionleague.webnode.com/table/

I am thrilled to announce that Lynn & Hutan’s little girl, born prematurely 12 days ago, left intensive care in a João Pessoa hospital tonight and is now in a special care ward where Lynn can be present and where she is no longer in an incubator. Still very tiny and somewhat lazy to breast feed, Amanda is steadily getting stronger. We praise God for this wonderful moment and thank everyone who has prayed. Please don’t stop!


I am extremely busy this week preparing so much stuff for next week’s annual Field Conference and without Liz around this is triply more complicated. I can see that even if baby Amanda is home by the end of next week that Liz will need to be on hand in support of Lynn with this tiny little baby to care for. This clearly means I’m going to have to face the Conference without Liz which is not something I like the idea of, but such is life! Please pray for the Conference which will gather leaders from all of our churches far and wide.

Last night’s service went very well with a packed out church as usual. The service went very well and the sermon flowed nicely. PTL!


News from João Pessoa is good with baby Amanda getting a bit better every day and putting on a little weight. It now seems that she should be out of intensive care this week and then move into the semi-intensive unit where Lynn can be with her all the time. So thanks for your prayer and please keep praying.


Yesterday EAB/ACEV’s Teixeira church spent the morning and early afternoon at Green Pastures for Brazilian Mother’s Day. They have done this for two years now and always are impecably careful not to leave rubbish behind which we do appreciate.


Our automatic camera has picked up a great 30 second film of a Rock Cavy daring to square up to a Hawk! It is lovely. You can see it at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmedcraft/17526903335/in/dateposted-public/

Oh well! At least it’s over with… but losing 6 x 0 was a bit much! Pathetic! I got the half-time score correct and the overall result too, so will received 6 points in the QPR inter-gallactic league and should increase my head at the top with 2 games to play. I had predicted a final result of us losing 4 x 2. Anyway it’s going down on the yo-yo lift once again and back to the Championship


I am all ready for tonight’s service and it was nice the see the UK Prime Minister reading my text for tonight in Westminster Abbey this morning on the BBC World News. Thanks mate – you read it very nicely!

I’ve not long been back from conducting a wedding at Green Pastures of Tarcísio and Maria’s daughter Jozilene to Antonio. It went off beautifully.


Tomorrow QPR have such an easy game that it’s hardly worth watching. They have to beat Manchester City away. An absolute piece of cake! Then to survive relegation they would still have to beat Newcastle at home and Leicester away and count on just a few other teams not winning their remaining games. For a team of QPR’s standing anyone knows that we could play our B or C team (or the ladies or the under 17s) and still do it. As simple as pie!

UK opinion polls are proving to be as unreliable as their Brazilian counterparts. It was a long night which must leave the SDLP feeling awful, the Tories and SNP elated and Labour well and truly defeated. A fascinating night indeed with yet bigger decisions on “federal UK” (?), in or out of the EU etc. now in the offing.


Here my campaign to get the breathalizers back in use is progressing. They had “gone away for repairs” over a year ago, but our complaints have seen them finally repaired and returned. Now we wait to see if they actually get used. I have asked for monthly reports.


I am also campaigning at the moment for a landfill promise to be fulfilled. A promise at least 10 years old! Then also I am campaining for improvements in the regional hospital and two mini local hospitals to be finished and commence functioning. The system is on paper: local medical clinics in the boroughs (actually function precariously and for an hour or two a day rather that all day); medium level mini-hospitals which ought to cope with middle level severity issues so as to take the pressure off the hospitals, but neither existent in Patos have ever been finished; the regional general, maternity and children’s hospitals – the worst of which is the general hospital which has been firing on two cylinders for years.

Though I’ve been living in Brazil for 43 years and am a naturalized Brazilian, I have never lost or forgotten my roots in the UK, and of how since a child I have always stayed up on election night to wait for the results. This is especially strong for me today as today would have been my dear Dad’s 90th birthday (I have certainly not forgotten him 13 years on from when he died in my home here in Brazil) and I always stayed up with Dad when I was young.


The election is said to be going to produce a hung parliament and induce another coalition government of some shape and form. It will be interesting to see how this evolves. Is Scotland finally going to stand up for itself and might Wales do the same next time round?


General elections are always a challenge for thinking Christians and it is always so difficult to define what are the most important factors at stake. That’s why I like the Swiss system where there are referendums on just about everything as this gives the electorate a much greater freedom of expression about details. For example: under the present UK system you might like party A’s economic policy but not their policies which in your view infringe Christian principles. Under the Swiss system you can vote on each thing separately. Under the UK system you have to opt for the least worst party and give them a blanket mandate with which you agree partially only. 


News on baby Amanda Ivy is good with her now completely off oxygen. She just needs to put some weight back on to get out of special care. Please continue to pray.

I have just had my hair cut. I hope you like it. Dentist’s tomorrow afternoon to finish a round of bits and pieces.


I have been wading through a massive translation for Gleydice and her singing/musical group in Campina Grande who recorded a new praise and worship DVD a few months back so now she wanted to put sub-titles in English which I have managed to do. When I finished all the 16 songs she then produced two long speaking texts which she spoke during the recorded presentation so now I’m working on this. Oh Lord!


The news on our new grandchild is encouraging. She is gradually developing and improving. It is a slow process demanding much patience and prayer. Thanks for being with us in prayer.

I have prepared the wedding ceremony for this Saturday evening at Green Pastures when I will be conducting the wedding of Tarcísio and Maria’s only daughter Jozilene to Antônio. They have two sons neither of whom are married. Tarcísio has even rented a suit for the occasion! Tarcísio is the Green Pastures manager and church leader.


Liz continues in João Pessoa with Lynn, her husband Hutan and their baby Amanda Ivy. Lynn left hospital today but the baby remains in special care where she is making some progress following her premature birth. I sense we might be in for a fairly long haul with all this. We value your prayers.


I have a lot on preparing for the annual Field Conference which starts a fortnight this Friday.


I got in some exercise at Green Pastures this morning. Oh dear how we need rain! In fact there has been a big debate tonight in the Patos Town Council on the regional water crisis with all the reservoirs very low. 

This blog has now passed the 137,500 visits mark (started August 2004) and my Flickr photos have passed the 176,500 visits mark (started October 2009) at https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmedcraft/

Amanda Ivy, born on Saturday in João Pessoa to Lynn and Hutan, is progressing well in special care. Being premature the hospital is letting the baby get her lungs up to necessary levels which may take a few days, but the little baby is doing really well now. PTL! Thank you for praying and please don’t stop.


Green Pastures had 5mm of rain last night so again very little but welcome none the less. This takes our total up to 364mm this year which is badly down on what’s needed. On Saturday I will be conducting a wedding at Green Pastures with Tarcísio’s daughter Josilene marrying Antonio at 6pm.

The communion service went great last night in Patos and the sermon went fine too. Great to have Philip back.


I was up putting food on the bird table at 5.30am and at 6am Pastor Valdemy phoned me from Caroá to discuss an issue linked to the church there. That is his normal time to phone!


Lynn’s new born daughter seems to be doing well and making progress. I await more concrete news later in the day. Please keep praying.


Today is the first lesson for the class which lost their little friend in the tragic lift accident last week. Sacha is consulting a psychologist this morning as to how to handle the issue with the little children. Please pray.

QPR are now relegated having lost again at the weekend. It’s certainly nothing I am going to lose sleep over, but I am sorry they have never managed to get their act together all season. What is wrong internally it is impossible to tell, but as a leader I sense something is essentially wrong inside the club. I am not saying they could be expected to win all their games, but it has been so bad that one hardly expects them to win anything. I remain top of the QPR prediction league with 3 games to go. 

I will be leading the monthly communion service in the Patos church in a little under two hours time. I will be preaching from Isaiah 40.


Lynn’s new born baby continues in intensive care as she was born premature. Her condition is stable. I will only be able to relax more once the baby is in her mum’s arms and in a normal routine.


I sent out the EAB Nutshell Update today.

EAB missionary Ben Price’s mother passed away last night in Basingstoke after a long battle with cancer. Our prayers are with Ben and the family.

Please pray for Amanda Ivy, born today, who has gone straight into special care in an incubator. She was premature and weighed 2.16 kg at birth plus the fact that to get her to João Pessoa for birth brought its difficulties. So please especially pray for the baby. Lynn seems fine.

PTL baby Amanda Ivy has just been born. Liz has already heard her crying loud and clear! I have no futher details as yet. PTL! Thank you for praying. Please don’t stop.

Lynn has just gone into surgery with her husband Hutan in João Pessoa to give birth to their baby daughter by cesarean section. Please keep praying.

Lynn is safely in the João Pessoa hospital so we now tensely await further news of the birth of ‘Amanda Ivy’ and of the well-being of Lynn. Please keep praying.

Liz has phoned to say they have passed the town of Cajá and are now within half an hour of João Pessoa. We pray for no traffic congestion on entering the capital. The maternity hospital is at action stations for Lynn to be there by 12.30pm (4.30pm UK time). John David, who is about to get his long awaited sister, looks dazed. Bless him. He said to me a few minutes ago: “Grandad, I’m in a state of shock. Everything is happening so fast”! Please keep praying.

Liz has phoned to say they have just passed Campina Grande non-stop on the by-pass so they’re heading straight to João Pessoa as Lynn’s contractions are closer together than they were, but still at tolerable intervals. Hutan is clearly on target for a Formula 1 debut and Liz sounds her usually confident calm self which is the ideal sort of person to have on board in such circumstances. Please keep praying. They are clearly on schedule at this rate for an earlier arrival in João Pessoa than I had envisaged. Perhaps they can make it for 1pm (5pm UK time)?

They are clearly going like the clappers and Liz has just phoned to say they have passed through Soledade so they are half an hour away from Campina Grande. If contractions remain as they are they may go straight ahead to João Pessoa after all so as not to lose precious time. Please keep praying.

Lynn (see previous 2 posts for the beginning of this story) is for those who don’t know our daughter and she should be at Juazeirinho about now, which is half way between Patos and Campina Grande (depending on traffic). I have learned that the doctor awaiting her in João Pessoa has instructed Lynn to be examined by a doctor in Campina Grande prior to proceeeding to João Pessoa. Lynn has been told where to go. This will delay the journey, but is clearly necessary. Normally on a good day it takes a 2 hour drive to get to Campina Grande from Patos and then about an hour and a half from Campina Grande to João Pessoa. Please keep praying.

If all goes well I can’t see them getting to João Pessoa before 2pm (6pm UK time) at the earliest.

There were a few minutes delay for Lynn leaving Patos but she is now on her way. Her husband is driving, and Liz and an obstetrics nurse are with them as he can do the birth if necessary on the way. Lynn’s waters have broken and she is having 25 minute contractions.


Once things started Lynn went to the Patos Maternity Hospital to be examined by a doctor who immediately said get going as here we can’t handle this case. Nurse Rone from our church was on duty and was sent to accompany the situation. They called by here at home on the way out and the plan now is to try and reach João Pessoa which was the original plan and would be better. However they may have to settle for Campina Grande depending on developments.


Lynn is calm. The preganancy is very high risk pricipally for Lynn. Please pray.

Please pray for our daughter Lynn who has gone into labour ahead of time with a high risk pregnancy and is being rushed to Campina Grande right now.

The service this evening went great. How good it was to see a young man come back to the Lord who has a bad drink problem. Please remember him in your prayers. The praise was good, the prayer was good and the Bible study went very well. PTL!


Philip is on the second leg of his 3 flights home from India – flying from Paris to São Paulo at the moment. He is utterly exhausted.

The little girl who fell down the lift shaft in Patos (see previous article) was in fact 6 years of age and has tragically died in the Patos Children’s Hospital this evening. Everyone in our neighbourhood is terribly sad and shocked beyond measure. Please pray for the parents who I understand were both Veterinary doctors.

We are very sad because a terrible accident has just happened in the lift shaft in Lynn’s apartment building in front of the English school which our girls run. A little girl of about 7 had a lesson this afternoon and then left the school and went to the apartment block to play with her friends. Somehow she fell down the lift shaft from 6 or 7 floors up. Presumably the lift had opened the door at the wrong level and the little girl apparently did not notice. She has just been rushed to hospital in an ambulance literally between life and death. Please pray.

I am an avid preparer of sermons. I can’t stand listening to waffle and on the spot ramblings. Hence I am at present preparing a sermon in the book of Isaiah for this coming Sunday in Patos. Such preparation always takes me many hours and even days. 


Sadly the rainy season has come to little at Green Pastures. I was there yesterday to check things over and we have now had 359mm of rain this year (15 inches). We would need at least double this for a reasonable year. Yes – we have prayed and are praying. There is hope of some rain as we go into May, but the main potential rainy season in our region is the first third of the year. Just like in the UK you don’t get snow in July so we don’t get rain in the second half of the year and little in the last two-thirds. This situation reflects on everything – life, nature, churches (people move away to survive) etc. We continue to pray and ask you to continue to pray with us as the thing is that 15 inches just doesn’t fill the reservoirs for later in the year.


It is encouraging the way university professors are increasingly warming to our Green Pastures endeavours. This is both helpful and I learn a lot from them.


I have been handling the usual stream of matters concerning the work with people turning up here in the office to talk to me, discuss things, ask questions + constant emails and phone calls. Liz is equally on the go continually. At times I don’t know how she copes. I also went to the dentist’s yesterday and I’m still breathing!

The Sunday night celebration service in the Patos church went off well with a full church as usual. The P&W group did very well. We had one of our pastors in as a visiting speaker and it could have been better. 


Lynn is due to have her baby daughter in about a month’s time so please remember her in prayer. That will be grandchild number 8 for us. Now surprise news for us is that Philip & Gylmara are to have a third child so that will be number 9!


QPR managed to miss scoring from a penalty against West Ham so ended up drawing a match at home they really had to win. Relegation looms larger and larger with 4 games to go, but I continue out in front in the QPR Prediction League by 18 points.

Liz and I travelled to Princesa Isabel’s branch church yesterday in the borough of Maia where I preached at the 9th anniversary service and the P&W group from Patos also ministered beautifully. Liz and I visited 2 rural areas where this branch church is also already reaching out to. We made these visits in the afternoon prior to the service.


It was a very good trip and really blessed of the Lord. It is good to see this work slowly and steadily growing. PTL!


Now we’re back in Patos and will soon be off to lead the evening service. Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Our leadership team meeting lasted 7 hours. It was exhausting but very united and positive. We have now entirely prepared the agenda for next month’s Field Conference (we hope) and amply discussed a very wide number of topics. There will be one ordination at the Conference + I will lead the closing celebration and Pastor Wostenes will preach. I will lead the 4 general assemblies too.


We decided to focus on the topic of unity next year and the annual theme will be “Together we are Stronger” and we will use John 17:21 as our core verse. The ACEV year runs from Field Conference to Field Conference. We also discussed the possible formation of the leadership team as from next year when the team will be elected for the following 4 years (2016 – 2020). 


We also defined the programme of the Leadership Conference for November which will be postponed from the usual September date owing to our UK trip. The next 10-day outreach is planned for the State of Ceará.

We also had a discussion on the dangers being faced in the new project which combats domestic violence, drug abuse etc. in a very violent borough in Patos. Much prayer is needed for our team.

I led the Bible study tonight which went very well. We had 5mm of rain last night at Green Pastures and 9mm today so we are grateful for small mercies.


Please pray for our national leadership team meeting tomorrow to discuss a whole host of topics. May the Lord guide us in every decision.

Today I have worked flat out preparing my sermon for Saturday when I will be ministering at the Princesa Isabel branch church in the borough of Maia to the south of the town. I was asked to preach on “If God is for us who can be against us”? I am not sure what they are expecting asking for this but I have spent since early this morning working flat out so as to be able to expound what Paul is saying and to get the context I felt I had to give a flying overview of all the earlier chapers. It was hard work but satisfying. May the Lord bless it. The P&W group will also be going on Saturday minus Philip who will be on his way back from India.


Good news today from Ben Price is that his wife’s visa has finally been sorted today so she will be able to join him and the kids in the UK next week. (DV) Ben says his mum’s health is stable.


I worked lots on Monday and Tuesday on the Field Conference to be held next month as we have a preparatory leadership meeting for this on Friday. This is a lot of work. Philip sent me from India the electronic forms the churches have to fill in for the conference so I have sent these to all our church leaders.


The married couples’ ministry had a nice day at Green Pastures yesterday.


I have also been sorting out one or two church problems – not in Patos but in other places. I have also been working on things linked to next January’s 10-day evangelistic outreach.

Last night’s Bible study went off nicely in Patos. My granddaughter Louisa led the P&W very well. In the study we handled the 3 accounts of the man (or men?) possessed by demons who lived amongst tombs and who was (were) delivered by Jesus. The main headache is to understand why all the pigs got involved. I have read many possible explanations but none of them convince me. Anyway one way or another the exorcism/s was/were accomplished demonstrating Jesus’s amazing and total power over evil.


Liz and I leave shortly to open the new church at Mandacaru and then go on to Tavares to open a new church there too on Saturday. Sermons are ready for both places – just Sunday in Patos is yet to be done. 


Our tickets are now bought to fly to the UK (DV) for out visit in the late summer/autumn – arriving Heathrow on August 26th and returning to Brazil on November 3rd. We look forward to seeing everyone and value your prayers always.

Ben Price and his kids are now in the UK for a year with his wife Miriam to follow once she sorts out her visa.

I am working flat out preparing sermons. First I finished the Bible study for this Thursday. I am now working on the message for the opening of the new church at Mandacaru and then I need to prepare for preaching at another church opening at Tavares prior to preparing for Sunday back in Patos. Your prayers are valued.

Please pray for EAB associate missionary Ben Price who will be going to the UK with his two children to be at his dear Mum’s side who has advanced cancer. Ben’s wife can’t go owing to British visa problems.

EAB/ACEV has just successfully drilled a new well – this time for the gypsy community, which is very large, at Sousa. The well has a production of 1,300 litres an hour of good quality water. PTL!


The service in the Patos church on Sunday was a blessing. Full church, blessed praise and worship and the sermon went really well. Thank you for praying.

“A GREAT NIGHT OUT”
Another Great concert presented by Cadnum
Methodist Church and friends at Copythorne Parish Hall. Pollards Moor
Road, Copythorne, Southampton – SO40 2NZ on Saturday 18th April 1915 at
7pm. Tickets £10 per person, children go free.
All proceeds to EAB. For more information phone 01794 323279 or jene.pelletier@gmail.com to book your tickets

My sermon is now fully prepared for tonight in Patos and will be the second in a series going through Mark’s Gospel where I will speak on the first exorcism done by Jesus in his ministry. It is a challenging topic in this modern age because of the two extremes faced on the matter. On the one hand here in Brazil we see “exorcisms” live on TV every day with neo-pentecostal sects – and on the other hand we have the “modern man” who has written off such matters as superstitious rubbish. Where in the middle is the truth?


Philip arrived in Mumbai last night. It was good that he gave me a site where I was able to follow the progress of his flights in real time. Very good.


The singles ministry’s meeting went great last night. PTL! This is so important. Churches need to wake up about this and treat singles with dignity and respect.

Philip left Patos last night for Recife and is now on a flight to Rio prior to going via Paris to India where he will be working for two weeks. Please pray for Philip’s long flights and heavy work schedule whilst there in India. It leaves a gap in the Patos church for 3 weekends – one going, one returning and one in the middle there.


We had nearly two inches of rain on Wednesday night at Green Pastures, which was quite a relief. We continue to pray for a lot more because we sure need it.


I am working on the preparation of my sermon for Sunday in Patos. I have to pop out to Green Pastures this afternoon to pick up seeds being gathered today for university research.

Liz and I went to Campina Grande at 6.30am today and got back at 4.30pm. First of all I went to see a dermatologist about lumps on the back of both hands, my chest and one eye. What a lovely doctor he was and soon had me cheerfully checked over and said the chest lump is nothing – just leave it alone… and none of the others are potentially malignant but best have them out anyway. OK I said – we’ll book a day for the bits of surgery and be back.


We left his office and presented his secretary at the reception with the form he had given me with what I need done and she said… well… when can you come back… or would you like it done today? Oh, yes, today would be great I said… and half an hour later I was being de-lumped! Brilliant stuff! So here I am typing this to you courageously having had 3 surgeries today! Now beat that! 


Following this we sorted out some other matters in Campina Grande prior to having lunch together (a bit of Chinese food with only the sour for me – no sweet of course!) and then heading for home. At Santa Luzia it was raining hard and we hope it will reach Green Pastures soon. We sure need it!


So many thanks to the Lord for another good positive health day. Thanks for your prayers always.

I have been to the dentist this afternoon and I am still breathing! I go back next Monday as I prefer things in small doses! I had no teeth with decay or pain – just a general clean up and one or two sensitive teeth to be fixed with some sort of enamel.


QPR drew at Aston Villa tonight 3 x 3 which was exactly the score I predicted. I also predicted 2 of the Rangers’ 3 goal scorers. Hence with six games to go in the season I expect my lead to have increased considerably in the QPR prediction league. Watch this space! However QPR are balanced on a knife edge as regards relegation with more chance of going down than staying up in my view. 


I have been doing masses of varied work this week. I have worked with the Patos Bible College and different issues with the Patos church. I have also been lining up the new deaf interpreters course to start this Friday and another meeting for the single and divorced this Saturday. 


I have also had lots of discussions with university professors. These seem to be coming thick and fast. It is really good how things are working out with university cooperation at Green Pastures. Sadly we are in a bad state as regards rain there, having had about half the rain there than that received in Patos only a few miles away. We hope and pray for a turn around in the situation this month. Please pray. 


The EAB facebook English language page is increasing in followers which is good. People have started following recently from India, South Africa and Portugal so that we are now approaching the 800 followers mark, which is encouraging. You can visit the page at https://www.facebook.com/eabrazil

This blog has now passed the 136,000 visits mark and my Flickr photo page has passed the 173,000 mark. Many thanks.

I’ve just got home from the big Easter Sunday Celebration in the Patos church. It was a great night. This morning’s fellowship breakfast was also excellent. At both we sang Easter hymns and I preached Easter messages at both.


The church activities started on Maundy Thursday with 15 youth evangelizing at the Coach station and even getting use of the intercom system! On Good Friday morning evangelism by a different group of 10 was done at the traffic lights beside our church. Unfortunately the service scheduled for that evening in a very rough part of town had to be cancelled as a 16 year old lad was murdered there that very day. 


This morning’s fellowship breakfast was beautiful with such a mix of all age groups and social classes just like the Church should be. Lots of poor kids came from the rough part of town mentioned previously and boy – did they eat! Bless their hearts and tummies! They even took food home with them for mum and brothers and sisters too!


We had a nice family time over Easter at Green Pastures. It was lovely. Just not enough rain, but apart from that perfect.


QPR even managed to win yesterday! That was a miracle!
