Roll-up, roll-up, the circus in town

If you live in a target seat this week it will feel like a circus with all the major parties lining up to entertain and excite you with their promises, and critical analysis of the status quo. It’s not easy to decide at the best of times who you would like to run the country, […]

The Resurrection

Luke 24 Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb, 3 so they went in; but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.4 They stood there puzzled about this, when suddenly two men in bright shining […]

Mothering Sunday

We had a fantastic day on Sunday, well I say we, I mean I did. I was given flowers at church, cards made a Beavers, school and nursery, and a bar of chocolate to boot. The service was awesome at church, the children led the worship, and I went to my mums afterwards, who made […]

Let’s play

I am currently helping out at our local playgroup, and learning alot about childcare. It’s a huge industry, and has alot of red-tape, bureaucracy like any other, and the focus on safeguarding is of course key. We run sessions in a church hall and we met this week with the vicar to discuss the rent, […]

Sometimes it seems like progress is incredibly slow, and you are not moving forward. The other day I watched some children in their class learning how to tread water. My daughter asked what they were doing, and I explained it’s quite hard to swim without moving and they are learning how to do that. The […]

Resolution #234 : play more with bears..

I took our son to see Paddington and was struck by the joke they made of how Mr Brown had changed since having kids, and turned into a boring, sensible dad, that the kids had got frustrated with, and how their mum was overcompensating and being really embarrassing in trying to be cool. It’s easy […]

Frozen

If you don’t have children or don’t engage in popular culture, the film “Frozen” released last December by Disney may have passed you by. It’s about 2 sisters and the adventures they go on. We’ve been singing “Let it go” non stop for a while due to a recent production starring my lovely 3 and […]

Candles, Ghosts and Saints

We are big fans of Halloween in this house, and looking forward to a bit of trick-or-treating this Friday. It’s fun getting dressed up and carving pumpkins, and cheers us up after the clocks go back. Like Christmas none of this has got anything to do with the real reason Halloween exists (although some would say the […]
