This week, there have been one or two ‘big things’ making me happy! We’ve been celebrating two anniversaries this weekend with our family in beautiful North Devon. My Grandparents have been married for 55 years, and my parents for 30 years, and both are such good examples of the partnership that marriage can be. It…

Encouragement, Dreams and Colour…
…Three strong, promising words. All these have been on my mind as I have gone about this week. I’ve been thinking about ‘encouragement’ for a while, though not necessarily under that name. I’ve been wanting to become a more positive person to be around, someone with the power to help others to feel lifted and…
Small Things
This is only my second post of the new year – the plunge back into work has very much thrown me this year, after my lovely week away in Devon. For those others who have had a hard first week back for whatever reason, I’m praying that you get some moments of peace and a…
Happy New Year
What is on your mind as you enter 2014? What are you reflecting on and looking forward to? This week has felt like a whirlpool as we process the year behind us and look ahead to 2014, which looks set to be a time of change for us. It is going to be full of…
Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas readers 🙂 I hope that whatever 2013 held for you, and however you spent today, that the holiday period will hold rest for you, time to reflect and look forward, and hope for 2014. I’ll be posting again in a week or so, but for now, here are a few pictures from my…
The Great Outdoors
This weekend I’m craving the great outdoors! I’m longing for fresh air, breathtaking views, open space and long walks… I can’t wait to get back to Devon next week and see the sea! In the meantime, I’m making do with our usual dog walk, which, though mundane, is still very beautiful.
Small Things
A small thing called Christmas has slightly obscured this week’s ‘small things’, but here they are anyway! (In case you haven’t read my small things posts before, they are weekly lists of the little happy-making happenings in my day-to-day life. Hope you enjoy them 🙂 ) *Celebrating a friend’s birthday *Seeing my Grandma, brother and…
This week’s ‘Small Things’
This week’s ‘Small Things’ post comprises a thank you list… Thank you for… *Cocktails in a Teapot* Meeting for cocktails on a Monday night is a very civilised, relaxing affair. A relatively uncrowded bar; a friendly, unburdened ‘moment’ before the demands of the week. We started our Monday evening at All Bar One in Leicester…

A few words on Christmas…
This week I deleted my draft Christmas posts, which I promised a week or two ago. I found that I just couldn’t bring myself to add to the plethora of Christmas ideas that are surrounding us at every corner – TV, magazines, online, in the shops… To be honest I find it all rather dizzying….
Refreshers
I was reading the book of Philemon in the Bible today. It’s a letter sent by a preacher called Paul to his friends, and the personal first few sentences are brimming with warmth and inspiration. Some of the ways he addresses his friends include: *’dear friend’ *’fellow worker’ *’brother’ *’sister’ *’fellow soldier’ *’partners in the…
Small Things :-)
My ‘Small Things’ posts are about those little things that have brightened my week 🙂 This week, I’ve been: Listening to: Melaena Cadiz, who I heard about through Tomboy Style. Amazing voice! Watching: Monsters University – sooo funny 🙂 Also, a little randomly, I caught a programme on brown bears in Alaska. There was stunning…
