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

Clinging to Summer…
I hold off Autumns chill, the dying death, The golden, bright decay. The all encompassing beauty of endings. I hold it at a distance and raise my face to the September sun, I soak in the warmth, the brilliant blue … Continue reading

On writing.
It’s Saturday morning and the sun is shining. I feel the need for one of those checking in with myself posts, one of those looking around at the view posts. This morning the boys are out with some other guys … Continue reading

It’s the final post in this mini series on acedia (which I still have no idea how to pronounce…). Today we’re looking on how to deal with it and how some kind of recovery might be found. “We … Continue reading
Advent 20
Advent leaves us aching and longing for more. The reality is that in 5 days time we will have a slightly disappointing, possibly stressful day. It’s a day that is built up to for so long that it can’t ever live … Continue reading
Advent 2
gloomy mornings, matted grey clouds cover the sky, sunshine battles, rays break through, streams of light fall on distant sea.
Day 30
Thankful for… Our beach hut induction, sitting in the sun gazing at the pretty sparkly sea, coming home and listening to Martin Sheen on Desert Island discs with husbandface, both of us dissolving into tears at various points. Head here … Continue reading
