On Retreat: Small Things
For the last day and a bit, I have been on a retreat with other children’s and youth workers at Douai Abbey. It has been such a helpful, peaceful and affirming time, so I thought for this week’s ‘Small Things’ I would write you a list of the little things I love about being on…
The Week in Words
Most weeks I post a list of ‘small things’ that have made me happy. This week was the week of my 27th birthday, and for a change I thought I’d sum up my goings on in three words… 1. HOPEFULNESS On Saturday evening, we held an event that was basically dreamed up and organised by…

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.

A small thing called Christmas has slightly obscured this week’s ‘small things’, but here they are anyway!

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.
