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

Books I’ve read, the July-October edition.
For my birthday this year I got a whole load of books based on a list compiled from shouting out on Facebook for my friends to share their recommends of the year. It was a great list and a brilliant … Continue reading
Books that I have read recently pt 1 (May-July)
I haven’t written a round up of books I’ve read for a very long time. April was the last time I wrote my random thoughts on the books I read that month. It’s now October. So here we go. This … Continue reading
What I’ve read… The bumper 3 month edition…
Recently I realised it’s been ages since I wrote down my burbling thoughts on the books I’ve read over the last erm, well, 3 months. To be honest reading has been a bit thin on the ground, a month of … Continue reading
What I’ve been reading, the January Edition…
Time seems to be moving at an all too rapid pace right now. So before February has disappeared, here’s what I read in January: Liturgy of the Ordinary- Tish Harrison Warren A brilliant book which takes you through an ordinary … Continue reading

Because my list for 2018 is growing already- here’s the complete list from 2017… I’ll highlight the absolute recommends, the you should read this whatever ones (there are other gems in there but probably for more specific groups of people…) … Continue reading
What I read in November/December
I thought I would get this one out of the way before I list my year in books. It’s been a slow reading time recently, I’m not sure why. Tiredness, exhaustion and a little too much addiction to scrolling through … Continue reading
What I’ve been reading, the September/October edition…
As we seem to be speeding through November, I get the feeling it’s about time I did one of those ‘what I’ve been reading posts’. Time to look at my list in my notebook and see what the last two … Continue reading
What I’ve read, the July and August Edition.
I’m hoping this list will kick start me into reading properly again after a week of not reading much but a deeply irritating trashy novel on my kindle that my internal completer finisher won’t let me leave to one side. … Continue reading
What I’ve been into May/June edition.
I really dropped the reading mojo in May. It was a pretty horrible month. Husbandface briefly returned to work until being signed off again worse than before. I think I had a long cold that didn’t shift and reading got … Continue reading
Dallas for Dummies
There was an American writer on spirituality called Dallas Willard. He, from the brief snippets I’ve actually read from him, was a profound man who wrote many deep utterances about life with God. My excellent brother has quoted from him … Continue reading
