To Dundee and Beyond

Our cross (two) country adventure began in Dundee. We drove south on Sunday morning, March 28, and worshipped at St Peter's. 
Nick preached the evening service. 

Reverend Robert Murray McCheyne was the first minister of this congregation from 1836 until his death at the age of 29 in 1843. His gravestone was "erected by his sorrowing flock" and has the following epitaph: Walking close with God, an example of the believer, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity, he ceased not day and night, to labour and watch for souls; and was honoured by his Lord, to draw many wanderers out of 

darkness, into the path of life:

Here is a view of Dundee from the front of the church:

We left Dundee and drove several hours on dark, narrow, curvy roads to Wheyrigg. The boys were exhausted from the trip, and Noah and Caleb snuggled up for some rest:

The next morning, we got our first glimpses of the English countryside.

The boys checked out a field of sheep while Blair packed the bags:

and then had some more fun while Nick packed the van:

The view from the playground was very nice:

More details of Monday coming soon...
