Found some friends and good times out at Queen Elizabeth Country park today. Beautiful sunshine and amazing assault course for the not so small ones. All exhausted now! #sunnysaturday #friends #blueskies #queenelizabethcountrypark #sleepnowTook the sad processing big emotion boy on my walk this morning. Ever hopeful that the joy of early morning freshness and wonder at bunnies and squirrels and the smells of spring will lodge deep in his soul and help him as he walks through this life. Also lovely to have chats without the shouting as we meandered around the green green world. #happyfriday #beauty #nourishment #joy #chats #parentingBeautiful child free morning out to celebrate another year of my favourite and best. Also had our first meal out since September. Ahhhhh. Happy joy all round. Happy Birthday to the brilliant Husbandface. #birthday #fun #joy #happy #dayoffIt’s a three cup of tea book reading afternoon around here. After a morning outside I feel less bad that the boys have been entertained by audio books, a film and the convenient arrival of a long anticipated computer game. It’s a good book :) #reading #tea #outsourcedparentingAnd in the midst of exhausted plodding on there are mornings of sunrise, light on the green growth going on in our woods, hope dancing on the horizon, resurrection happening over and over again in this beautiful world. #tired #joy #exhausted #smiling #weary #hope #resurrectionEaster Monday feels like a quiet space to let the full on Easter weekend sink in. Preaching yesterday felt like tearing off pieces of my soul and offering them to people in hope that the Spirit would work. Today I sit and rest, drink tea, hear the living One who comes to our places of death and calls our name. And breathe. #rest #dayoff #sabbath #hope #known #quiet #resurrectionArchives

Happy Christmas one and all! Today the wonder was fairly easy to find, a sun filled freezing walk at Cuckmere Haven, a browse in a book shop, a snooze after lunch, a walk with an excellent friend around the block, … Continue reading

I trace the wonder through the day: it was found in finding myself awake for a planning chat with my excellent colleagues, in getting out to some very quiet National Trust joy, in the blue sky and big clouds, in … Continue reading
Advent 22
As we approach the strange wonder of Christmas Day I am reminded again and again that the wonder is always found in the deeper magic, the story that goes back to the dawn which tells of the dawn to come. … Continue reading

And we’ve done it, 10 days in our house. Tomorrow we get to go somewhere. I’m not really sure I want to go anywhere, but the option is there at least. Today the wonder came in the gentle rhythm of … Continue reading
Advent 20
Today the wonder came through our two Christmas services, despite the strangeness of not being physically present at either of them it was beautiful to have such a light relief joy fest in the morning. Tonight it was odd but … Continue reading
Advent 19, the one with the wedding anniversary…
It’s that time of year where I get to say that we used to look like this: And now we look like this: And somehow 11 years have gone by, over a decade of adventuring through the ups and downs … Continue reading

Advent 18
It’s getting harder… I’m frustrated and fed up today. In the small pockets where I wasn’t frustrated and fractious I managed to give the talk for our Christmas Day service on our doorstep, a talk that reminded me that I … Continue reading
Advent 17
Tonight I write from a tired and slightly fed up with isolation space. It feels hard to dig for the wonder and yet as my mind floats over the day I know it was there. It was there in moments … Continue reading
Advent 16
We made it over the hump day of our lockdown time (all being well…) 5 more days to go. The wonder came in swirls after a long crazy night with an unsettled youngest. But it was there. It came in … Continue reading
Advent 15
I think today I got some feels about Advent, about this Christmas time. The last few weeks have been full of illness and now lockdown and nothing has felt like ‘Christmas’ at all (to borrow a line). Today though I … Continue reading
