Life in lockdown: Weeks 3-4
I started this series a couple of weeks ago, so I might as well carry it on. If only for a record of these days. I find it strange to notice how many weeks are going past and how long … Continue reading

Weekly round up. Once more.
I squint at my watch. 4.40. The small boy next to me wiggles and whispers a cute wakey wakey in my ear. I growl a shhhhhh and turn over, he mutters back into sleep and I listen to funny women … Continue reading

Advent 20
The wonder is still around. A foggy morning run over the downs. Winter trees appearing suddenly through the mist. Joy through the gloom all around. A morning off. Sermon prep. Embracing the silence. Sitting reading with my favourite. Heading to … Continue reading

Holiday roundup
It’s the first day of a new term and for the first time in a week or so the boy is down for his regular lunchtime nap. Despite a restless night from all (mainly consisting of the boy coming into … Continue reading
