Why make a normal Victoria sponge cake when you can make a blue and green one? Thankfully still tastes yummy... #cake #rainysaturday #timeforacuppaDay 1 of being signed off the bit of work I could be signed off from, due to exhaustion. Realising how tired my body is. Saw amazing bluebells. Inhaled their scent. Stumbled home to sit in the sun. Stared at bluetits on our cherry tree. Read a bit of a book. Napped for an hour. Repeated go slow, be gentle, be kind to yourself. Felt grateful for being able to be signed off. #sleep #rest #bestillmysoul #bekindtoyourself #mentalhealth #bluebells #stopping #tiredness48 hours away in Selsey to pay attention to my body, listen to @lostwordsspellsongs from the National History Museum, drink @skylark.coffee, hang out with the One who loves me most, walk in pretty places, have a morning walk in ancient Yew trees with my Dad, read books and realise the weight of exhaustion that covers me right now. Grateful for the husbandface for holding the fort and My Maker for blue seas, green grass and a beautiful word to bumble around in. #timeoff #exhaustion #beauty #soulsoothing #toesjusttouchedthewaterWalking my tired body around the woods. Noticing the green creeping higher and wider each day. This world reminding me that resurrection always comes. That hope will win out. That there are inescapable wonders even through the aching bones and fog in my brain. #inescapablehope #walkingon #green #blueskiesObligatory 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 #sleepnowArchives

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
