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

A year on…
It’s been almost a year. Almost a year since our world turned upside down. Almost a year since my world shattered into pieces and I became that most misunderstood of creatures. Almost a year since I became a mother, a … Continue reading
A time to celebrate
This weekend was a time to celebrate, firstly and rather shyly I was celebrated at my baby shower. I think this is a concept that has come across the water and can range from a cheesetastic event to something that … Continue reading
Beauty from Chaos
Our God is a God who really likes creating stuff, who delights in bringing beautiful order to chaos. If you have doubts just read the first chapter of Genesis again. All the darkness, unformed space and swirling nothingness. From this … 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
Things marriage has taught me pt 36
Marriage throws up a number of amusing problems to overcome in ones new life together. A massive one is adjusting to each others family traditions/quirks/strangeness (there was a whole section on it in our marriage prep course- clearly serious stuff) … Continue reading

Day 25
Thankful for… A husbandface who lets me cry all over him, tells me it’s going to be alright and who puts me in God’s hands. Chilling with the Mums in our escape from the children morning at church. Topics discussed: … Continue reading
Day 11
Very thankful for… Mum and Dad, attending their last service at St Saviours, saying a last goodbye to my childhood home, grateful for the refuge it’s been for me over the years, the love and nurture of amazing parents and … Continue reading

Enjoying a day off, tennis with Mum, good food and chat. Sitting in a chair with a cup of tea and dunking biscuits, the best kind of blissful relaxation. The thought of only 2 more days of work and then … Continue reading
