The full quote is “Let God hold your heart, like the moon rising to meet the starts at night and the sun waking to cast rays of colour into a new day.” Its from Bonnie Grays, Whispers of Rest. I have just started reading it and it makes me feel like I can breathe. (P.S….
Cloud of Unknowing
This is what I wrote on instagram a week ago “Morning, it is so beautiful out here today, a bit nippy but the buds are forming on the trees and the lichen making interesting shapes on the trees branches. The main sounds are a woodpecker and wood pigeons cooing and flapping. A cormorant swims and…
Cornwall Football Golf
We visited Cornwall Football Golf this week. Spoiler alert, It was amazing. It was very easy to find we entered through the football archway eager to see what awaited us.

Snow Bunny Choices
So this morning, we woke up to a smattering of white, on the way to school at the whitest part of the road was a rabbit, sat in the middle of the road cleaning its face. It didn’t move as we approached so I got out to shoo it to safely already dreading what condition…
Motherhood
I’ve just read the The Sixty Minute Mother by Rob and Dianne Parsons. It’s a book, it seems I’ve been aware of for ever, since before I was ever a mother. I thought it fell into the category of books promising to change your whole life by 5 minutes here or there, or parenting books…
