Captivating Melody
via Daily Prompt: Captivating The anthem of a crowd of supporters A pace song for the road Voices around the campfire Tender lyrics of love The gentlest of lullabies My greatest friend’s a singer The creator’s melody Deep and rich Mellow and clear Rawness, sadness, eternity It pierces my trembling soul Blood throbs in…

Your labour is not in vain
This week my son started at nursery. Which means I started back at work. I have mixed feelings about this. I love my job. I am completely blessed to work in a field which is my hobby (music) and in a very small team of incredible people. I have missed them very much, and as…

Power under perfect control
Today I led a service at church. The theme was gentleness, and I shared on Facebook that I was going to be leading and preaching on this theme. Someone commented this in response: “Just a comment, I don’t find ‘preaching’ to be a gentle word. But I wish you well.” I didn’t want to get…

Picky Eating
Today I cooked paella for dinner. Well, not really paella – it was the Hairy Dieters’ Beachside Paella minus the seafood to cater for my husband’s tastebuds.

Face to face
I’m heading into the office shortly to see my boss face to face. It was hard, but important to find time for this meeting, which is why I’m missing my post-natal keep fit class in the park this morning. On Wednesday James drove all the way to Halifax and back in an attempt to meet…
