A happy Christmas to you all!
Christmas 2021
This will be our third Christmas in London. I'm starting to get used to the dark afternoons and the winter chill. I've been dressing in big jumpers and scarves -- cosy and warm. It was just me and my son for our first London Christmas as my husband had to work. The day was bright... Continue Reading →
A walk to remember
It was Saturday. We hurried our reluctant teenage son out the door to go for a guided walk through London. The tour wasn't about the history of the magnificent buildings or well known events, but about the Christian men and women who lived and worked in this great city, centuries before us, who ended up...

“This little girl is me” campaign
This little girl had loving parents who encouraged her to dream big dreams of worldly success and status. She worked hard but didn’t become the lawyer or doctor she was aiming to be. She loved to dance. She loved to paint. She loved telling stories. But no one told her she could spend her life... Continue Reading →
I am only one; but still I am one
I came across this quote on social media recently. “I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything; but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”Edward Everett Hale It made me think about what I...

The dim light
Watching in horror as Afghanistan falls to the Taliban. I’m transfixed by heart crushing scenes that my husband is telling to set aside. How can you look past this post from the New York Times? In Tigray, Ethiopia, people are running from their homes as the fighting takes hold. Southern Haiti was made rubble as... Continue Reading →
Love your neighbour
It's raining again in London. Summer has been a wet one this year with brief moments of beautiful sunshine. I was scrolling through my social media feed, when this image came up. It made me pause and think. Are my actions speaking as loudly as the the faith I profess in Christ? What about this... Continue Reading →

When love changes everything
When was the last time you cried tears of joy? I don't mean pretty delicate movie tears that trickle down our cheeks. But snot snivelled ugly cried because something moved you so deeply because of the beauty of it? We see it all over the internet. From someone getting the latest pair of sneakers to...

Good Friday 2021
“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 (NIV) It’s Good Friday today. A time to remember the death of my Lord on the cross. Our boy said it was odd that... Continue Reading →
On hope
I recently read an excellent interview on the Rust Belt Girl. It's a blog I follow by the lovely Rebecca Moon Ruark. The interview was with author Eliese Colette Goldbach -- a writer from the rust belt of America. A thought-provoking and honest piece, the questions and answers ranged from Goldbach's time working at a steel mill to... Continue Reading →
Dear 2020
Dear 2020, Not long now before you're gone. And I have to admit, a part of me is glad to see you leave. There was so much pain and suffering during your turn around the sun. You've been one awful year for so many people. As COVID-19 began to impact the country, it was sometimes... Continue Reading →
