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

Clinging to Summer…
I hold off Autumns chill, the dying death, The golden, bright decay. The all encompassing beauty of endings. I hold it at a distance and raise my face to the September sun, I soak in the warmth, the brilliant blue … Continue reading

Time for another roundup of our weeks…
It’s Friday. The small ones are engrossed in tv and I’m in a positive kinda mood (must be that happy point of the month). I don’t think I’ve written anything since half term. November is moving by too fast. The … Continue reading

Thoughts from the week.
The weekly roundup is back. It’s been full of ups, downs and roundabouts and I miss pondering the week just gone in this space. So, in no particular order, here are some thoughts. I am tired. I looked back in … Continue reading

Another Saturday night.
I sit again at the end of another week. Wanting to write of other things apart from waiting. But waiting is all we have. Good waiting filled with joy and expectant hope. Tough waiting full of groaning and longing and, … Continue reading
It’s good to be home…
Well now, where are we? Sonface had a birthday, there were a lot of posts about that, I’m sure you’ll be relieved that the random witterings about my child and over-thinking thoughts about being a Mum are slowing down for … Continue reading
This morning…
This morning I drove through the crisp autumn air to my parents house for a quiet morning. A morning where I could sit in their summer house, walk their labyrinth and know that Nana was doing a very good job … Continue reading

October
I’m not sure how it escaped my attention but I now realise we are three days into October. This leads me to do what has now become an annual tradition, post the classic U2 song, October. Simple and eloquent it … Continue reading
Weekend roundup
We had the delightful joy of heading over to my parents new house on Saturday. They’ve eschewed the town life of Guildford and have settled in the small village of Liphook, which I’m sure has nothing to do with Dad … Continue reading
Autumn
I love the changing seasons, I love crisp Autumn days with fresh sparkly blue skies, cold biting and leaves that are golden and pretty. I love seeing the city in a new way, with carpets of leaves, trees revealing what … Continue reading
