Job in Pictures – Getting ready for the New Term

A day late, here is this week’s ‘Job in Pictures’ post. As you’ll see, I’ve been getting ready for a new term of clubs, assemblies and services…                     Yey for a tidy cupboard!                     Yey for COOKIES…

Family

I sometimes (OK, often) moan about not having my family close by. I was buying my niece a birthday present the other day and found myself wishing I could be more of a part of her life than I am. I often think it would be good to ‘pop in’ to see our parents or…

My Job in Pictures 3

So this week I have three sweet little pictures 🙂 On Saturday I organised a Gardening Session and Cream Tea for families. The only problem was, it was tipping it down! No children turned up to brave the torrents but the four of us who had arrived to help decided to head out anyway. We…

Some more ‘small things’

I like to mix my more ‘philosophical’ ramblings with lighter posts about the little things in life that make our days all the more enjoyable. Doing these posts is great because it always helps me to find thankfulness, even when I have been low or had a hard week. This week I hope there is…

My Job in Pictures 2

So this is my second ‘My Job in Pictures’ post. It was hard to choose this week but here are my final three! 1. Some of the younger children enjoying our day out to Clivedon National Trust site 🙂 I had so much fun playing with them and being with them as they made ‘collections’,…

My Job in Pictures 1

I love my job. It’s exhausting and busy and limits my social life, but I still love it! I work with children and youth and their families, for a church, so every day is different and there are always challenges and always rewards 🙂 I figured it might be interesting to do a new little…

Being honest but appreciative…

Have you ever been in the situation where you’ve been browsing facebook, looking at someone’s holiday snaps, or even just catching up with friends, and you’ve had that nagging feeling that maybe your life doesn’t quite match up? I think a lot of people have moments of dissatisfaction with where they are in life, and…

Small Things :-)

In the style of my favourite blog, ciderwithrosie.com, here is a little list of things that have been lifting my spirits this week. Having been on holiday, I have quite a few! 1. Managing to snap this butterfly (a Dark Green Fritillary I think?) on my phone at Centre Parks, Longleat: 2. Painting my nails…

Flip Flops!

A while ago, I mentioned Gandys Flip Flops, the up and coming flip flop company started by two young brothers who lost their parents in the 2004 Tsunami. Money is donated to orphans in India for each pair bought. Here is my pair 🙂

After a little while, I return – re-inspired!

So after another LONG break from blogging, I’m back with lots of ideas and inspiration. I recently bought a copy of Company magazine. I’m not entirely sure what its target audience is (maybe a little younger than myself?!) but I have really loved it. It’s so bright and cheery and real! I’m a fan of…

Love this picture!

Was just looking through our holiday snaps from Rome last year – here’s some graffitti we saw by the river. Loosely translated it means ‘I love you from here until the end of the world and from there to infinity’. Makes me wonder who wrote it and what their story was!
