Over the past month, we have been reorganising our very small porch way and creating a tiny office for me. This was very much a labour of love for Gary, who did the entire thing himself, according to the specs I had given him. This was his birthday present to me. And literally if I… Continue reading Creating a Tiny Office {Seasons of Joy}

Seasons of Joy {October 2022 Edition}
❤️ The Comings and Goings of Claire ❤️ Mad World Does anyone else feel like our world is spiralling out of control? Between Russian soldiers being sent to war without uniform or protection against the cold to Truss resigning, it feels like everywhere I look the world is going down a very dark and dangerous… Continue reading Seasons of Joy {October 2022 Edition}
Seasons of Joy {September 2022 Edition}
❤️ The Comings and Goings of Claire ❤️ Back to School. Now I’m back to school I am finding I have less and less time on my hands. Even blogging daily is a stretch. I’m managing but it’s hard. Having decided to take a year off from my master’s I thought I could use all… Continue reading Seasons of Joy {September 2022 Edition}

❤️ The Comings and Goings of Claire ❤️ Four Frogs. We have four new residents in our little garden pond. The children have named them, but the names are so ridiculous I can’t bring myself to tell you! Gary bought a sort of grass or perhaps a type of reed (I’m not really sure). It’s… Continue reading Seasons of Joy {August 2022 Edition}

❤️ The Comings and Goings of Claire ❤️ Clueless with Claire. Do you remember my escapades in the garden last year? If you do, you may also remember, firstly, how useless I was, and secondly, my arch nemesis the garden slug? It was the slug which eventually put a stop to all my gardening endeavours.… Continue reading Seasons of Joy {July 2022 Edition}
My Experience of an MRI Scan
So…the day after my appointment with the ENT consultant I received a phone call telling me I needed to be booked in for an urgent MRI scan, and how did tomorrow sound? I was a little discombobulated to say the least. I thought I’d be getting a non-urgent appointment through the post in a few… Continue reading My Experience of an MRI Scan

Sometimes I have such a lovely week that I just sit in the quiet of my room and I thank God for all He has given me. This week has been like that. I have thoroughly enjoyed alternating home making tasks with watching short videos on YouTube. One such home making task was to try… Continue reading Seasons of Joy

If I close my eyes to the heated rays of the sun, I can hear a lawn mower in the far distance. Birds and insects chirp in equal measure. There’s the odd bang or clatter from nearby gardens, the sound of feet walking on shingle next door. It is a cacophony of auditory pleasures, life… Continue reading Seasons of Joy

The one thing Charlotte has never asked me, whilst in this perfect storm of ill health, is ‘Where is God?’. Yes, she has felt the Charlotte we all knew and love be shattered into a million tiny pieces. She has felt the hopelessness of not being able to plan more than one day in advance,… Continue reading Seasons of Joy

Obviously I’ve been away for the last couple of weeks and haven’t done too much in terms of gardening or indeed homemaking. Instead I have spent the time writing, reading and spending time with first Charlotte and then the rest of the family for the past few days. It was wonderful! I handed over the… Continue reading Seasons of Joy

This past week has allowed me to do things I have put on the back burner for the last few years. For example, although I finished my novel a couple of years back, it was not long enough to be deemed a book. I had written about 22000 words, a novel needs to be upwards… Continue reading Seasons of Joy

Ooh, I learnt some new skills last week! I have taken to watching gardening YouTube videos in my spare time, and as I learn I do, regardless of whether it needs to be done! Take my mints for example. I learnt via a video that if you want your plants to spread out (and be… Continue reading Seasons of Joy

What a glorious week it has been weather wise. I was up at dawn on Monday and was fully dressed before I looked out of the window to see this: What an unusual gift from God midway through April! I had checked the weather on the BBC website the night before and absolutely no mention… Continue reading Seasons of Joy

Sometimes, my soul longs for quiet. It longs for aloneness and solitude. I think it is a need, much as breathing in the air. Just a few hours to spend doing, well nothing much. It can be as simple as being in the kitchen, alone. Maybe some soft worship music playing in the background. But… Continue reading Seasons of Joy

I have been reflecting recently about just how much energy has gone into looking after a terrified teen whose health took a nose dive and whose life’s reality is very different to the plans she had for her future. Charlotte is now getting all the help she needs. She is under the care of some… Continue reading Seasons of Joy
