WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 7th 2011
Greetings from Romania to everyone
reading this.
The Mustard Seed Jersey aid consignment driven by
Jonathan and Selena arrived yesterday late afternoon – too late to complete
Customs formalities yesterday so those were done this morning and unloading
took place this afternoon. By far the most challenging were items to get off
the trailer with the sit on lawn mower and the jeep! But they came off with the
steel ramp and some extra wood. At one point I thought it seemed impossible at
which point I went off to the toilet and offered up a quick prayer. Soon after
that the mower came off followed by the jeep maybe 10 minutes later.
The weather is beautiful – cold, frosty, crisp and sunny
(I understand Jersey weather is very wet) and after unloading and a visit to
the homework club Jonathan, Selena and I went for a lovely walk into the
village.
Tomorrow before they leave we have arranged 3 Christmas
shoebox distributions, a kindergarten visit and a home visit. Hopefully we can
fit this all into the time before they have lunch at 12 then aim to be on the
road towards the border by 1 pm.
I am having some problems getting on to the internet
tonight but hopefully I can send this. I will send it to all those I think may
be interested and ask that from then if you are interested on you check the
website for future updates www.mustardseedjersey.co.uk
and select NEWS or ROSE’S TRIP DIARY . I also hope to keep our Face Book page
up to date.
