The other night I had a very clear dream, in which I held a new baby. It made waking up a very painful experience – and living another day without the child I dream of rather sad. It was one of those days when songs on the radio seemed to echo my thoughts and my…

This week…
This week started with a beautiful weekend 🙂 We travelled down to North Devon and stayed in what is going to be our new house in two weeks today! It felt really good to start putting some of our things in cupboards, to eat there with Andrew’s parents, and to wake up there! I spent…
Way of Peace: The Small Things
I recently started a post series called ‘Way of Peace’, which I really hope people will enjoy reading as much as I’m enjoying thinking and writing about it. I started by posting about the Lord’s Prayer – I find that saying it helps me to put my trust in God, which in turn has the power to bring…
Hope in Syria :-)
You only have to do a Google Images search on Syria to get a glimpse of the horrors of the conflict there. The screen fills with pictures of violence, sorrow, fear and hate. It is easy for us to turn away from these images, not wanting to acknowledge there is such sadness in the world….
Small Things
Half term is a strange week in my job: though out of routine, I am generally still working and often at least as busy as I would be in a term time week. This half term has been no exception, and has gone by very quickly! There have been lots of little things each day…
Way of Peace 1
I have the feeling that all of us are searching for a bit of peace in life. Peace of mind, peace of heart, serenity to take with us through the day. So I’ve decided to write a series of posts on it. Some of them will be really short – just little quotes that I…
Small Things
Ah, May. The month of Bank Holidays! This month for me has been all about enjoying the weather and being outside as much as possible, gathering ideas and plans for my new business, which I’m really excited about, and enjoying the second to last month of my time in my current job. This week, my Small…
Life Lately
I’ve been outside a lot lately. The sun has done me good, and I can’t get enough of the life that’s tumbling out everywhere: everywhere green, everywhere dappled light, everywhere colours and pollen… I love how, at this time of year, every view is glimpsed through a window of green, how I can sit at my…
Small Things
Recently, life has been very busy, and all the ‘small things’ have swept passed me, noticed, and appreciated, but largely unrecorded! So… here is a muddly list of some of the things that have enriched my day-to-day over the last few weeks! *SALE in Fatface! *Rain on the windows of the cafe I was sat…
Windsor Great Park
On Saturday, Andrew, Jamie and I had a long walk in Windsor Great Park. I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to it than the part we saw – it seems to stretch for miles. It had rained that night but the sun was out, and I tried to get a few pictures of the summery shades of…
Changes
Last week I was able to share with my church and youth groups something that has been very much on my mind over the last few months. After what will be about four years in my job, Andrew and I have decided to move back to our home county of North Devon. We are really looking forward…
Recipe: Jo’s Lasagne
My sister Jo is the Queen of cheese sauce! It’s one of those things that everyone I know seems to really struggle to get right, but she knocks it up with no trouble at all every time. This means her Lasagne is GREAT! She made it for us the other night, and we all dug…
