People out in bloggetyville seem to celebrate their 100th post, so here we are! 100 posts! Actually, it's only been 100 just since we've been here in January. I'm not counting the posts we did before on this blog, that have been deleted. They were from our last year in Cardiff. For security reasons, they've been deleted...forever. :)
We had a lovely weekend. Including picking blackberries on Saturday and I made my first cobbler! It was fabulous! I got the recipe from here. It was so easy and so yummy! You need to make one of these today! We picked about 6 cups of blackberries, so I have frozen them and will be eating some more of this cobbler on those dark, winter days that are coming all too quickly! Did I mention how nice it is in the summer with the sunset being so late? I don't even want to think about the winter! Our first winter in Pontypool was miserable! It was dark by 3:45 in the afternoon and rainy. Ugh. Anyway.
School starts back up tomorrow here, after a 6 week holiday. I'm just a wee bit sad just thinking about it because this time next year, Cerys will be starting school! They go to school when they are 4 years old here. So, next September, right before her 4th birthday she will start nursery school. It's every day of the week, for 2.5 hours in the morning. Then the following year, when she will be almost 5, she will start her Reception class, which is all day, every day. So, I'm going to enjoy this last year with no children in school and make some fun memories!
Our work here will start to get busier now, since University students are back in Cardiff. August is a holiday month, when Brits leave the country in search of sun and University students return home! So, you can think of us this week and say a prayer for Marc, as things get started up again.
Have a lovely day!

Holly, you are too sweet. I feel like our life is so mundane, so it's good to know that someone is interested. I get bored so easily over here.
Thank you so much!
I realized a few weeks ago that Will starts Kindergarten next year. I'm SO glad we're planning to homeschool! A week of VBS was hard enough! = )
We're also enjoying the sun while it lasts. In the middle of winter Joel goes work in the dark and gets home in the dark. UGH! At least his cubicle is right beside the windows.
Can't wait to hear about the memories you make this year. I'm hoping to do the same. Do you have anything planned?
I missed my 100th post. I didn't know I was supposed to celebrate it. But I'm coming up on 200, so maybe I'll do something for that. Who knows.
Can't wait to read about your memories. Jamie starts school next year, too. Time sure does fly!
Hi Charity ~
It's been fun browsing through your blog, catching up with you again!
First, I just have to direct you to Lauren's blog at baseballsandbows@blogspot.com She has a yummy recipe for Blackberry Dumpling Cobbler that is to die for. You should find it if you click on her recipe label. Maybe you'll find another recipe to use your blackberries in.
We started school this week, and it's been going good so far. Seems like autumn is the time I have to start saying "no" again, since educating my girls is a higher priority than most other things. This is the beginning of our tenth year homeschooling. Man, talk about time flying!! Enjoy this time with Cerys! =)
I'll be praying for you and your husband, as he starts back to "work" and as things start to get busier for both of you. I remember when my kids were little, that spring and fall were such hard times since he was hardly home - he farms. I felt like my spiritual covering was gone, and that I wasn't cut out to be both father and mother! But I made it through, and so will you! =) I'll pray for you!
