fun in the October sun!!?

Well, we've had another busy week at work and another exciting few days of play too!! On Wednesday Mark and I got the chance to go out exploring together, it was a beautiful day and we got up pretty high. We took the furnicular train up the mountain (far too steep and far to walk!) and had a walk up there on the  tops, it was beautiful...see for yourself

The train arriving...note the incline!

Mark admiring the view on the way up

WoW!

Up where the air is clean...

Also this Saturday we woke up to a rather cloudy looking morning, surely not...? But don't panic, we were not stuck indoors all day. All we had to do was get above the cloud level and enjoy the sunshine from up there!! So Mark thought it would be a good idea to take me on my first ever Via Ferrata; its like rock climbing and walking mixed together...not for the faint hearted!

Yes, that's me climbing up a sheer rock face!

And, yep, that's me hanging on to a sheer rock face!

That's Mark hanging out behind a waterfall!

The views were incredible...when you dared to look!

The cable you see goes all along the course and it is what suspends you between life and certain death!!

A crevice to negotiate!

This is the zip wire finish to the Via Ferrata, you had to hook yourself on to the wire with a pulley and just leap off the rocks over a drop and a river...talk about a leap of faith!! The video clip begins with me just yealling to Mark "I love you!"...well, I had to say it in case it was my last opportunity!!! Needless to say, we are still very much alive!

So, as you can see our busy times are interspersed with fun adventures!

Something to add for the prayer list is I have decided to write a play for the Christmas service for the youth. Many of you will know that this has often been my job in years past! Pray for inspiration, I want it to be light-hearted and fun but at the same time evangelistic and with the serious and wonderful message of our saviour's birth! (And please don't forget to be praying for the up and coming youth retreat too!)

Yey...my mum and nan are visiting this week...the next post will let you know what we get up to!

Much love
