Barry’s Diary August 2011

03.08.2011

Hello Everyone

Well it’s August again – holiday time!

Good news from our International Branch is that Willem has been blessed with a new baby girl Erin – Mother and child are doing well and many blessings to them all.

Jackie & I spent a few days in Ireland two weeks ago on a short break with friends and Jackie, whilst ‘Irish Dancing’ with our friend Tom, had an unfortunate accident and snapped her Achilles tendon and had to have an emergency operation. You will be pleased to know that the operation went well and she is at home recovering well but is completely depressed at not being able to be at work. We miss her very much and hope she’ll be well very soon.

Also, I am pleased to have my PA Laura back in the office this week after having had an unpleasant operation on her jaw – (so the two ladies in my life have left me stranded!! )

I hope they will both continue to get better as they are vital cogs in our lives here at Albins.

We will shortly in conjunction with the Council, be planting a beautiful tree in memory of those fallen in the Afghanistan conflict. This will be officially dedicated and opened at our Christmas Memorial Service on 7^th December, starting at 7pm.

I must take a moment to remember the tragedy and loss suffered by the Norwegian Nation last week – so many young people losing their lives. Our thoughts and prayers go with them all and particularly to our local Norwegian Church and Pastor Fr. Holt who have been long time friends of Albins. Please hold them in your prayers.

I am happy to announce the launch of my new book – ‘Square Pegs in Round Holes’. You may have noticed the link on the Home Page. The book is available through Amazon. If you prefer to pay for the book by cheque you can contact us directly and we will make arrangements to send the book to you.

I do hope you enjoy it..!!

Until next time,

Best wishes

Barry
