I’ve said this before, but I just love working in seasons. Still influenced by school terms, I love the new year-ish focus the Autumn brings, the festive, cosy side of Winter and the fresh, hopeful feel of Springtime, when anything seems possible! And then, of course, there is Summer. My friend Karina and I have…

Small Things
There have been a lot of big changes and big emotions in my life over the past few weeks. Many have been good, but the sheer intensity of it all does leave me a little overwhelmed. This has made me especially grateful for the simple, day-to-day small things. Here’s a little list of some of…
This Week: Small Achievements, Presents and Friendship
This week for me has been a bit of a marathon, trying to cover a lot of ground in a short space of time, so Jesus’ words ‘don’t worry about tomorrow, for today has enough cares of its own‘ have proved very, very good advice. And sometimes I’ve needed to stretch it and tell myself ‘don’t worry about this…
3 Posts that have made a difference to my week
Flowers in the desert + a Recipe for a Better day + How to be Empathetic = 3 posts that have made a difference to my week 🙂 These pictures of the desert covered in flowers, which I found via Ann Voskamp’s website, feel like a metaphor for how I see my life right now. I’ve…
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…
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…
