For the last two years I’ve been telling anyone who asks that it’s still ages until I leave. Suddenly we are there now and this week has felt very strange as a number of lasts and farewells have taken place. Many of you have asked how I feel about this move and I’ve said that I’ll be delighted to be working closer to home, and that I’m looking forward to worshiping with my family for the first time in ages. But saying goodbye to the Umhlali church family has been hard.
