   Deborah had a much easier birth than last time (if there is such a thing as an easy birth!) Andrew took her into hospital midmorning and Esther was born at 2.13pm weighing just a fraction under eight pounds.

   This autumn Andrew took her to a local fireworks display and she kept on talking about the big fire and the various bangs and colours for quite a few days later.

   We went on a two week holiday to Scotland last summer where we had the use of a bungalow on the understanding that Andrew took the Sunday services at the local Church. The bungalow was in Perthshire and we used it as a base to explore the wider area going to places like Scone Palace, Sterling Castle, Dundee, Loch Tummel and Loch Tay. It was great to relax amongst the beautiful scenery.
   
   Andrew has continued to thoroughly enjoy his job in the Navy; especially the chance to travel and get paid for it at the same time. Over the last year he has travelled to many more exciting places in support of his three ships. Some of the highlights have included a trip to Turkey where he saw the ruins of Ephesus and a stay in Athens where he was able to explore the Acropolis. Since last year he has been on a couple of trips to Egypt where he explored Alexandria and Cairo (a first class return train trip from Alexandria to Cairo costs just £3.40 and takes two and a half hours either way!) Another highlight was a trip through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea before stopping for a few days in Djibouti. From there the ship sailed to India where Andrew had a week exploring Mumbai. More recently he has had a week of sightseeing on the island of Corfu and a few days in Barcelona. His last trip this year will be flying out to join a ship in Sierra Leone from where he will sail across to Barbados before leaving the ship and flying home for Christmas. Another naval highlight this year was when Andrew had lunch with the Queen and was asked if he would say grace. Andrew has now spent over two years as a Chaplain in the Navy (doesn't time fly!!!). He will be saying goodbye to his three ships at the end of January and beginning a new job as the Chaplain of the Naval Base in Faslane, Scotland.
