reality bites

so been here just over 2 weeks and it is starting to hit me a bit. So many people. bobins!!! Its like walking down market st in manchester, on a saturday, all the time!!!!

Hackney has character, quite the same feel as heald place - ghetto one might say. but its good, i love the feel of it.
Am currently sat in the boiler after having a fun time with jude and george. It seems that crazy boiler ideas are being sent from heaven to all 3 of us, seperately. fun. so we shall see where it goes, but there is space for me to do some stuff here, help out.

Missing manchester a lot today. being able to see people with ease, walk places with ease as opposed to walking for miles. cozy places. my room is not quite yet my own, need to get my stuff from manchester.

Learning lots about the poor at the mo, and what it means to be on the other side of the city. not the side seen on the postcard. the hidden side. Just really impacting me, mainly because i have about 27p. Am really peaceful about it, but know that there are somethings you can't learn or see or feel when you have a bus fare or food for a coffee.

So there are many more challenges but in a really good amazing way. God is being super as normal (a great english word that, super). Life feels colourful and hidden but growing all at the same time. Not found a green place in hackney, but the suggestion of churches sounds good - thanks, (although i don't actually recogn who you are...)

oh and congrats to paul and penny for the arrival of Lucy Hope. beautiful.
