Devon Small Group Surfing Weekend Away

We just took a lovely 3 day weekend away to the lovely Atlantic Ocean in Devon (Croyde) with our Sheffield small group at church. We had fabulous weather and enjoyed spending some extended time with one another away from day-to-day activities at home.

And lots of sitting on the sunny beach...
