At our ISE going away do, I got to talking with some of my girlie friends and had a thought. What are those few little things that I haven't done yet that I could sneak in before I leave the UK. We already did London a couple of weeks ago, but something they always seem to talk about is having a coffee at BEANS in Oundle. It's just a little place on the corner in city centre Oundle which is apparently the most "posh" place to live south of Peterborough (next to London that is).
My friend Wendy actually works at Beans and on her day off I asked her to join, Holli, Katie, Glenda and I to enjoy one last little girly thing before I left. I of course don't drink coffee, so I was weird and ordered a chocolate milkshake at 10AM.
Dearest Holli has been my greatest spiritual guide and one of my dearest friends during this whole experience. I know she has many special friends but she will always hold a special place in my heart forever. We used to joke about being part of the "pro-England" club because we both love living here so much. I remember the first time I met Holli on my house hunting trip four years ago. I called my mom that day and said I met my new best friend and she doesn't even now it. Holli has this effect on every person she meets as God radiates through her and her love is unlimited. Love you so much Holli and I hope you enjoy your next adventure in France, but hurry home!!!
Glenda Houston is such an amazing woman. I had always heard about Glenda from other ISEs and I finally got to meet her on a girl's night to Toby Norris. It definitely took me some time to start understanding her as her Northern Ireland accent is pretty thick and at times she starts talking so fast that I do have to ask her to repeat herself. Glenda is another woman who I see God radiating through. About six months after steadily attending Kings Gate church, I inquired about joining a small group and after some trials, I found Glenda and Warren's group which embraced me and they changed my life.
