Did you sleep well last night? It’s been a bit hot so I’m guessing perhaps not. How does that make you feel the next day? Do you cope well on less than eight hours quality sleep or does everyone around you have to give you a wide berth if you’ve had a rough night. WeContinue reading “ZZZzzzzz”

To blog or not to blog…
I was hugely privileged last week to be asked to be on Catrina Benham’s podcast REAL Conversations, where she chats with women about life and faith. One of the regular opening questions is ‘What’s New?’ I realised that much of what’s new in my life tends to revolve around my boys, for example what’s newContinue reading “To blog or not to blog…”
A Zambezi Adventure
A few years back Mike and I went on a big adventure. We’d planned on sharing our experience by doing a talk at our church and the local sailing club but somehow the busyness of life got in the way and then babies arrived and we never did it. So I thought I might tellContinue reading “A Zambezi Adventure”
Being still is a skill
*** apologies to the guys – there’s reference to women’s health issues in here – but you may learn a thing or two that might help you understand the ladies in your life and it’s not the main point of the post so don’t be too put off 😉 *** A few weeks ago IContinue reading “Being still is a skill”
In my minds eye…
Take a moment, close your eyes and think of someone you really love – in your minds eye what are they wearing? Do they have lockdown hair or have they made it to the hairdressers yet? If you can’t sleep have you ever tried counting sheep – what do they look like? Big and fluffyContinue reading “In my minds eye…”
Two Little Boys
I’ve been given cause to reflect once again this week how blessed I am to be a mum of two cheeky and bouncy little boys. I might at times feel quite frazzled and frustrated at how all consuming they can be but the fact is they are, both of them, amazing miracle gifts from God.Continue reading “Two Little Boys”
A story to change your life
*** spoiler alert *** This blog gives away the ending or at least hints to what might happen in several stories!! Have you seen ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’? It was a Chinese film released in 2000 starring Jet Li. There were a few similar films made around that time. They were beautifully made and directedContinue reading “A story to change your life”
Joy is my middle name!
Four years ago Mike and I went on an amazing adventure – we canoed for 163km down the Zambezi river wild camping for six nights on the banks and encountering an array of amazing animals who depend on the river during the dry season. Having gone all the way to Zambia we felt it wouldContinue reading “Joy is my middle name!”
A Thankful Woman.
In the past fortnight I’ve found my thoughts wandering a lot around my place in the world as a woman and the discrimination that women face just because they are born female. There was International Women’s Day, Mother’s Day and the massive outcry about violence against women raised by the murder of Sarah Everard. IContinue reading “A Thankful Woman.”
The Blessing of Interconnectedness.
Being a mum of little people I end up watching rather more CBeebies than I ever imagined! The other day we were watching an episode of Katie Morag, a wee drama set on the fictional Scottish Isle of Struay. In the episode Katie is worried her family are going to have to move away fromContinue reading “The Blessing of Interconnectedness.”
