Our dearest friend Miss Mona Pengelly and Rev Chris Tomlinson were there to meet us, so cold and early that we were all shiving with the English cold morning air!!
Was it typical of Malaysians not to be able to catch a bus on time?
The Tomlinsons live in St Dominic, which is a lovely place. I studied at Plymouth's College of ST Mark and St.John's for a short period. Hence I know Plymouth pretty well. This trip gave me the chance to know Devon and Cornwall even better.
St Dominick near Saltash, is undergoing a name change.
The parish lies south of Calstock, to the west of the River Tamar which separates it from the Devon parish of Beer Ferrers. Nearby lie Pillaton, St Mellion and Callington.
The parish is named after the female saint St Dominicia and is located on the west bank of the River Tamar about 3 miles to the southeast of Callington.
The nearby Halton Quay was formerly a busy river port sending fruit from the Tamar Valley across to Plymouth. Farming remains as the main industry in this area.
It was nice to visit this place in 2010 and to meet up with some missionaries who worked in Sarawak To reconnect and to show our gratitude.
Here I am in the photo...the translator and the English nurse who worked in Bukit Lan.
It is good to be out to enjoy the balmy English weather. Cheers.
