Soul Talk
If you've ever found you're talking to yourself then you are in good company. A read of the Psalms and you'll find references to King David speaking to his soul. But while I might have caught myself mumbling about the need for a coffee or questioning myself as to why did I walk into this room, King David… Continue reading Soul Talk

Tu me manques
Apparently in French you don't say "I miss you." You say "tu me manques" which means "you are missing from me." I love that. It has so much more depth than just "I miss you." It suggests that you aren't complete without the other person. That they are of real significance to you and their absence… Continue reading Tu me manques

It was like I had been blanketed in a fog. I could almost tangibly feel the discouragement descend on me. And like when one is in a fog my vision felt obscured and impaired.

Anyway, why one would be angry and trying to say bubbles or cupcakes I cannot say. Many years ago I was a volunteer at Radio Lollipops at… Continue reading Bubbles
We will remember
"At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them." Anzac Day 2015. Across our land today people gathered together to the sound of the last bugle, to the roar of wartime planes flying overhead and canons firing in salute, to the minute's silence. We gathered to remember all those who fought in wars… Continue reading We will remember

The Candy Man
No School Gala day is complete without the Candyfloss stand. Beautifully spun sugar on a stick, softly coloured pink and giving you the feeling you are eating a raspberry flavoured cloud. All sweetness and light! Attending the boys' school fair I diligently queued for the freshly spun cotton candy for my 7 year old. Surprisingly… Continue reading The Candy Man
