We're back!

We arrived back yesterday afternoon very tired but very inspired and ready for the year ahead at school, university, work and church.

The journey was quick and straight forward after we found our coaches that is! Soul Survivor has decided not to let coaches drive around the site so we had to carry all our luggage and equipment half way across the site to the coaches which would be bad even if we knew where to find our coaches (which we didn't). A re-think may be in order for next year!

However, as you can see from the picture, we found then in the end and got back to Ashtead on time to meet all the parents who were waiting at church.

The day could have got off to a better start however. Once I had broken out of our awning which had been cable tied shut by some of the "up all night" crew I was greeted by "Happy 50th Birthday" (thanks Matt) banners and balloons and then immediately followed up by a cream pie to the face!

A crazy 10 minutes errupted which was like something out of Bugsy Malone. I think in the end anyone who gave some, got some which is the best time to call a halt and start clearing up! Just time for a quick photo.

This will probably be the last post for this year so Emma and I would just love to say that the past week has been awesome and the young people and leaders have been the best we could have ever hoped for!

Bring on LIFE on September 6th!
