Summer 2020 With Protest! I’m not usually one for wishing time away and often find myself arguing the point with my Mum, who doesn’t find much joy in winter and autumn, that we should enjoy every season and soak up all the colours with each change.

Lockdown Diary Week 1! So, one whole week has passed with us only leaving the house for essential items and one family walk per day. I can’t lie, it’s been hard. Far harder than I thought it would be and I have to admit that my own mood has not always been exemplary. Jonny is far better at this kind of stress than I and my temper has been lost more than once. The children are coping well but my […]

Why do we give Easter eggs to each other? When did Easter stop being about religious miracles are start being about chocolate? It could simply be a sign that religion plays a smaller role in most lives than it did hundreds of years ago, but actually, Easter eggs themselves are a tradition with surprising religious roots. The biggest surprise? That religion isn’t Christianity! The name “Easter” itself is thought to have been derived from the Scandinavian word “Ostra,” which relates […]
Into The Unknown! I don’t even know what to say about the current and world wide health situation. I am lost for words with both understanding and terror as I am sure the entire rest of the world is too. So I’m putting all my trust into a government I didn’t vote for and wouldn’t usually have a good word to speak of and hoping beyond hope that they guide us through this tumultuous and troubled time. I’m scared and […]
