And so the sun sets on another year of the boys in school. Year 1 and 3 are dusted off and put on the shelf. The last year has been surreal to say the least. But for now I sit glad of 4 weeks off work in front of me. Time to hang out with the goons. Time to have time off, enjoy space, mooch around with my team and generally practice a simplified life. So I’m going dark on these social media spaces for now. Time to reduce my inputs, lean into my core and enjoy the present moment in front of my face. Have amazing summers one and all. See you on the flip side. #goingdark #timeoff #summerholidays #backsoon #sunset #schoolsoutThere aren’t many better ways to start the day. #seaswimming #endorpins #happy #joy #blueskies #brightonlife #hoveactuallyFeeling the weight of this beautiful ending to John O’Donohue’s birthday blessing as I sit at the end of a lovely day.A treasure trove of delights. A delicious heap of wonder. A cavern to be explored. A feast to be tasted and a stack of worlds to enter into. Love my birthday stash. #birthday #books #wonder #delight #loot #happysigh #wheredoIstart?Insanely pretty morning with the parents at the lovey Leonardslee Gardens. In true 2021 style husbandface was out of the picture with feeling grim post second vaccine but we had fun, melted in the heat and came home for birthday cake. I might be 43 tmw but apparently never too old for some good old hedgehog joy cake from my Mum. #birthday #leonardsleegardens #tirednow #beauty #cakePretty epic 48 hours away from the smallest members of our team. Time to relax, eat good food, walk in pretty place, read books and enough time to miss them. Heading back today with a heart full of gratitude for my parents looking after the boys, for their v peaceful house and for my co-captain of this ship we are on through all this crazy life adventure. Now. Back to the fray. #rest #timeoff #grateful #favouriteandbest #beauty #reading #joyArchives

Easter Saturday thoughts…
It’s Easter Saturday and I find myself reading through my blog again and again, trying to trace the journey of me and Easter, trying to remember my way into this story. It hasn’t been a great week in my head, … Continue reading
Resurrection Eggs
A friend asked about our Resurrection Eggs on Instagram so here’s the file where I’ve put together what we do. We nicked the idea from countless others but the basic idea is we have some eggs into which go a … Continue reading
Life in Lockdown… the one where the end is in sight.
And so here we are, on the edge of putting some normality back into our routines and life again. On the edge of finding the margins once more, of the boys going to another space for 6 hours a day, … Continue reading

Books I have read in 2020, the full list.
Here’s the list. I’m pondering whether to aim for 100 in the year to come, I reckon more lockdown living and I could do it, but also I’m aware I need to slow down more as I read, to drink … Continue reading
Advent 24
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

Advent 3
I think this picture encapsulates the distant search for wonder at times, the ways in which wonder can be elusive, far away on the horizon, and yet the very distance of it brings it somehow closer and in a deeper … Continue reading
Thoughts from a week off…
I’ve had the last week off work, leaning into the space afforded by the 5 hours a day the boys are at school, enjoying the extra time to walk around the beautiful places near us, to read more books, to … Continue reading
Watching the black dog slowly slinking out of the door
And sometimes it’s the Saturday mornings, the pushing through to get out on the hills to watch the sunrise, the making a playlist about sunrises, the listening to interesting profound people in my ears as I wander around the golf … Continue reading
Remembering Geraldine Cunningham
Today marks the 9th year since my mother in law died of cancer. Finally I think we are getting the hang of how to remember her well and honour her life within our family. Grief is a strange thing, it … Continue reading

Book’s I’ve read July-August 2020
Ok. Here we go. Another round up of books from me. I’ve made it about half way through my birthday stash and read a few quick reads on my kindle in the last couple of months. In no particular order … Continue reading
