Obligatory I’ve had a haircut selfie! Ah the small joys of life in this weird world. #haircut #pandemiclife #grateful #feelinglikemeFound 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 #resurrectionArchives

The…12 weekly roundup? Or the post I always seem to write when I return to writing again…
I’m baby sitting at a friends tonight and happened to glance over my dusty old blog and realised it’s about 3 months since I last posted about life around here. I’ve posted about books and our outdoor 30dayswild adventures but … Continue reading
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
Advent 11 -Here I raise my Ebenezer
I’m not sure what this one has to do with Advent but it feels important to put it on this ever evolving blog of mine. Mainly so my most faithful reader (me) will remember. You are welcome to listen in. … Continue reading

Advent 5
Tonight I read Son1 the story of Pandora’s Box (the child friendly one). The end hit me all over again. A tiny creature called Hope is left at the bottom of the box. Hope is then let loose into the … 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

Weekly round up… bumper 2 week edition..
It’s Friday morning, the sermon for Sunday morning is mostly done and oddly seems to make sense, the house is quiet and calm with the small whirlwinds at their school for a while. Belle and Sebastian are bringing music to … 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

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
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
