It’s my eldest’s birthday today, a day I find insanely emotional because it marks when my world got ripped apart and slowly over the years put back together in an entirely different way. This album is playing loud in my ears as it did in those early days of parenting. Nothing like @martynjosephmusic reminding me of the love out here, calling me to be brave and be quietly drawn by the stronger call of what I really love. #phew #allthefeelings #wrestlingwiththenoiseofthisnight #soulsoothing #birthdaysAnd Joni calls me onLink in the bio to my latest blog post of processing this crazy start of our epic adventure. Here’s a taster :) - We are about to live our epilogue, staying a week in a friends annexe before we start our prologue heading off to Northern Ireland. We shall enjoy our Brighton, our friends and we shall lean into the ache to start the next book.The last Saturday morning.Spent a very happy few hours today in the company of my wonderful colleagues Dave and Sam. We ate amazing food, we put the Christian world to rights and started working on our new podcast (working titles- ‘stop being weird’ or ‘you’re just embarrassing yourselves’…) we had meandering conversations about stuff in the Bible, God and what on earth the passages Dave is preaching on this week might be about.Grateful as ever for these beauties. A last fairly straightforward meet up for a while. But we are good at moving heaven and earth to hang out and pray together so the Irish Sea isn’t going to stop us. A lovely start to what promises to be a strange couple of weeks full of lasts for now and goodbyes and ALL the feelings. #friendship #autumn #goodbyes #allthefeelingsArchives

Belfast
It seems like we’re in Belfast for a while, we’ve been here a week already and it doesn’t look like we’ll be home soon. So, I thought I’d get cracking on reflecting on life over the Irish Sea in Norn … Continue reading

Confessions: No. 134
On a cold Saturday at the end of November, as I sit in my cosy warm flat, I feel the need to confess something. For nearly a year now I have been someone who has lived a lie. The cult … Continue reading
Under a Tuscan Sun
I went on my first trip to Italy last week, 2 hours on a plane and I was standing on pretty Tuscan hills looking at a rolling patchwork quilt of hills covered in olive trees and vine yards. We had … Continue reading

Waking up in a sunny village far far from anywhere, feeling like I’d been away for years. Morning stroll through the village. Thinking we must be old as we head out for the day at 10am. Big fat sky, big … 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

Day OFF. Many smiles. The last services at my church, glad of all God has done through the place in the last four years. Very glad. In the midst of sadness at leaving, feeling oh so loved this evening by … Continue reading

Despite a hazy day of Hayfever: Chatting about real things with my housemate this afternoon. The usual fun of tea and biscuits with the Hollingbury crew, and a friend asking me how I really am.
Random thoughts.
There has to be an outlet for my random meanderings. (well there doesn’t have to be, that’s more of a wish thing. But bear with me…) Here is as good a place as any to swirl the thoughts of my … Continue reading
