Saturday Photo Hunt - New
Forgive me for copying my sister, but it’s so appropriate to the theme, I just had to!
Here we are practising our NEW skill - knitting - yesterday we learnt to knit!

I’m a Knitter!
Many years ago when I was but a little child, I tried knitting … I found that I dropped, gained, and generally was very careless with my stitches and decided from then on that I was not a knitter! Crochet became my yarn-craft of choice, and I thought that was the end of it. However, […]

Karaoke Philosophy
In the midst of some fun and silliness last night I had a serious thought. We were playing SingStar, which is basically doing karaoke on the PS2 in the privacy of my parents living room! Much laughter ensued as we missed notes and got the words muddled up and realised we didn’t know songs as […]

Anti-climax
I’ve just done some blog-tidying and took my Christmas countdown off - it had gone rather bonkers and was saying it was minus 600 thousand and something days until Christmas! So that’s Christmas officially over then! And the Advent blogging is done … back to my normal rambling nonsense. Feels a bit strange. Christmas isn’t […]

CHRISTMAS DAY!
Let us pray for the peace that comes from the Prince of Peace.
Almighty God and Father of light,
a child is born for us and a son is given to us. Your Eternal Word leaped down from heaven
in the silent watches of the night,
and now your Church is filled with wonder
at the nearness of her God.
Open […]

Lest we forget
In the midst of the excitement
Remember those who have nothing to be excited about
In the midst of the joy
Remember those who mourn
In the midst of the special times with family
Remember those who are alone
In the midst of opening presents
Remember those who have nothing
In the midst of the feasting
Remember those who starve
In the midst of the […]

Quiet
It’s Christmas Eve … I’m feeling a bit sorry for myself as I have a cold … the children are playing with lego on the floor … Richard is playing on the Xbox … it’s cold and frosty outside. I’m thinking … is there anything I need to do? Is there something I should be […]

Advent 22 - 4th Sunday
Let us pray
as Advent draws to a close, that Christ will truly come into our hearts.
Lord,
fill our hearts with your love,
and as you revealed to us by an angel
the coming of your Son as man,
so lead us through his suffering and death
to the glory of his resurrection,
for he lives and reigns with […]

Advent 21
Father,
we contemplate the birth of your Son.
He was born of the Virgin Mary
and came to live among us.
May we receive forgiveness and mercy
through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son
