We in London Now.





  Myself and Pastor Gavin Otto are in London for one day  enroute to Nothern  Ireland  for our 2 week stay at Morlough House www.projectmh.org on a missionary journey. We traveled from Antigua after some delay. We learned that the owner of the airline was aboard. Gavin saw him taking some pics when we landed in Barbados on our way here. As if I needed any encouragement for arial photos (An act generall frowned upon by fellow travellers).



 We arrived in London and took the Gatwick express plus an all day pass to where we are now. After we got settled in I decided to put the all day pass to good use, while Pastor Gavin Shared some thought for the  prayer meeting at the Mission at which we are staying. I simply can not comment since I was out gallivanting. I went to Regents Park (One of my fave spots in London) I limed in the park then wandered about oxford street. I went to visit my sister unannounced, returned to Oxford street dissapointed a little (The good is that I am almost back up to speed with the tube) . The day is longer than in Antigua and slightly longer than in Philly it may well be the best day in the year so far, lots of people were out enjoying, the sun was bright and the temp was a mild 20 c.
              We are now looking forward to the next leg of our sojourney.

Back in Dadli. Albiet Briefly.



After that really long day and a longer one on the 22nd, My sister, Her husband and daughter took me to my now favorite "All you can eat" Restaurant we had a good time and perhaps too much food. I did not want to let down the home team so I had That fourth plate. I was not feeling adventurous to try the frog legs. On the next day (Thursday) I went to 'King of Prussia Mall' for some last minute toys for my children. Under cover of darkness the nextr morning (3:30 am) we left for the long drive from Philly to New Jersey airport following directions from the portable GPS navigator. I arrived in Antigua safely and as soon as I put on my phone I got a call from a prospective bride reminding me about an engagement photoshoot the next day, I am happy to say it went well and my few days back home have been quite eventful. I shall be off to the UK for a month in a few hours. I will do a wedding shoot on July 30, the day after our return. Untill next time.

The Last Weekend of Spring.

    It is the last weekend of Spring and the temperature is already rising. If you don't believe me, just ask the guys on the highway selling "cold" water. Well before we get too embroiled.. Happy Father's Day to all you fathers and "Baby Daddy" out there. I went Shopping with Lisa errh "Leona" on Saturday with two of her friends (Alice and OJ) big shoutout ladies. Yours truly gave himself a fathers day haircut (with a set from Amazon.com) just prior to being asked if I would like to tag along. Since that wa my best (only) offer all day I quickly jumped at the chance. After leaving with Lisa (who calls me "Uncle Dwaine" and I like it) we collected her friends at various Junctures and had a somewhat scenic and educational drive. He hit 2 Malls about 40 miles away and I shopped not bought.
After wandering off to Target from Sears and missing the rondezvous with the ladies we were back on track. The day ended well.
         I made and received a few father's day calls, some Long Distance (London,Antigua & Barbados), had some breakfast and relaxation I was ready for what the day had to offer.
           Father's Day sunday: I was taken to church Yesterday by Lisa. We stopped by a nearby pharmacy to get me some AAA batteries for a Waterproof P&S. I received a genuine "Sticker shock" when I leaner that the batteries were $10.00 not 5. (the Duracells were put in the place of the Generic ones which cost less than $5.00) All I saw was that little "Free" Phillips Screwdriver... the rest was a blur.
          We arrived at Church Later so most of the parking spots were taken so my niece parked partially in front of a driveway... more on that later. The church service was good and I took some stills and Vids, i Shook the pastors hand a said a few words to him. My Mother enjoyed that Baptist church during her trips to Philly. So after leaving the church and hearing my niece saying "No, he is not my 'Friend', Just my Uncle" and "My Uncle is not 'Old'" to a Guy we eventually left...Oh, the title of the sermon was "Men of A certain Age" Part 2.






         We were all hustling for her to go to her Job in the Valley Forge (King of Prussia) area, going back to the burgundy Neon, when Leona noticed a smell and then saw a broken rotten egg on her windscreen and the shell on her car roof...She was in no way amuzed. Me, I tried to cheer her up on the way to the car wash. Running late, reduced visibility, having your uncle saying "it's not that bad", smelling rotten eggs and the worst..having to pay to have it cleaned, was just abid much for her, it was a one-sided conversation. While the vehicle was being cleaned we went inside and she offered me a choice of a drink, so I chose the Aloe flavored one. Car cleaned very quickly then Home.
