Read More Journey into Joy in Communion – Part 1 Blind BeginningEarlier this week good news came to the Dryden Family. What did we do? We had a slap up meal featuring all our favourite cuisines.

Read More The Deal Is In The MealNot sure if I’ve told you, but recently I started playing squash again. Yeah. I am. Love it too. Playing it with a brother in Derby who really looks out for me, and is a quality hombre. So I’m doing my squash thing and feeling good about doing something relatively physical.
