Happy birthday Jen. Do you remember these? Every pic captures what joy your birthdays brought because they were your birthdays. As I looked through my photos I was struck again by what you brought us, your Ma and Pa. So today we thank Jesus for creating you - no one...

Bubbles! Daily the news hints at the possibility of another war. Will the tensions burst in Europe? In the Middle East? Fear is in the air and some of it is my fear. This pic of fun bubbles on the beach at Bournmouth speak to me. Surely there is a safe place - and...

A special Easter lunch - perhaps you can read "Cameron" on the name tag? An afternoon snooze and then I come to chat on Instagram. In my book I quote Shirley saying of her last Easter in 2014, " We've just has Easter. Easter's been" - she chokes up -"so special.Before...
