Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

              Yesterday was the beautiful marian feast,Our Lady of Mount Carmel.This feast 
commemorates the anniversary of the day in 1251 when the Blessed mother gave brown
 scapular to St Simon Stock of England.

 "Whoever wears scapular and die will be preserved from the eternal fire...."is the promise.


It  was a blessed day,after H.Mass, we prepared caramel slice and put it in fridge.As a 

family we went to Peak district to be reminded of Holy Mountain on this feast day, had a 
stroll in the  woods, visited Our Lady's shrine on the curve. It is such a devotion place.







Mount Zion and the city of Jerusalem , the place where God dwells among His people,often used in the liturgy as the image of Mary., in whom God's word became flesh n our midst.
The title Our Lady Of Mount Carmel is another expression of this beautiful devotion and holy place of God's dwelling place among us.Lovely place where Elijah dwelt in service to the 
word of God,expresses a sense of beauty,silence and prayer that characterise Our Lady,the mother of our redeemer.

Summer in Chorlton woods

Our Chorlton woods is packed with lots of adventures and fun. Lots of birds in the river  and people come from all over the place , kids enjoy feeding them. Many little peer is there for fishing and camping . We have a beautiful orchard and now it is full of cherries, raspberries, red currants ready to pick, beautiful place to climb and collect cherries. reminds me my childhood. There are lot of bicycle trails for those who are interested to bike.
                 

           I picked lots of raspberries and prepared jam in my bread machine, came out pretty much well. Every wednesdays children can have kayak and canoe in the water for free. Theresu was out in the kayak for first time and it was amazing. She enjoyed it.

Jam from the raspberries from our orchard. Not sweet enough since I didn't add enough sugar. However it is worth making a homemade jam, though many in our house don't like jam. I enjoyed myself since it was my first attempt to prepare jam .
