City Life

This saturday a group of us got out of Peckham and went for a walk in the beautiful Kent countryside. I entered into the whole out in the countryside thing and decided to have a pint of Ale while frequenting the local pub.

It was really good to get out of London. Most people since i have been living here have said how important it is to get out of the city every once in the while and i can see what they mean. you know what though? i love London and Peckham especially. i really wasn't sure that i would though.

I grew up in a tiny village in Oxfordshire and then moved to hull which isn't exactly vast. When i knew God was calling me to London i would often break out into minor panics becasue London was so big and it terrified me. It's so much faster than anything i have ever been used to before. i could easily get so lost here, and i often do! But it's brilliant its the centre of so many amazing things, there is so much going on and so much to get involved with it is what i have always been longing for - to be in the centre of somewhere that is truely buzzing.

Being surrounded by God's creation is beautiful and restoring but what i find even more restoring is being surrounded by God's best creation - people and living inPeckham i definately am.
