Today Natalie and I took some friends to Epping forest to walk about and exercise one very boisterous dog. I have only been once before and didn't remember it being so beautiful. There's been a lot of rain this summer and the forest was quite wet which is probably the reason why it was teeming with tiny frogs. The dog got some excellent exercise and we all had a really nice walk. Natalie made some coffee before we left the house as well as some banana bread which provided some form of picnic. It is really a nice way to 'hang out' with our contacts. It is difficult if you live in the city to get away from it at times and it can be quite smothering - this kind of break is good for the soul. It is nice to have a dog to walk too, a point of focus for us so that we don't need to get too deep into our personal problems. I hope that such a short break away will give us an opportunity to remember the beauty of God's creation which is often hidden by the ugliness of man's concrete jungle creation.
