the big disco

Back at the start of summer (I did have to double check it was summer as it looks cold in these photos!) the world's biggest disco ball arrived in Leeds so a group of us went to check it out. The Big Disco was lots of fun..stalls, street food, a carnival and, of course, dancing. There's always something different going on in Leeds..one of the many reasons I love living here!


happy thanksgiving

Red rock, LV. This is for my other half. Thank you for sticking by me and making me smile, even across the miles.


just like that

Well after all my good intentions to pay this blog a little more regular attention, life suddenly got super busy and the last few weeks have flown by! It turned freezing cold, it even snowed briefly, then it got mild again. November is half way through and everyone is preparing for the Christmas season. Before we know it that shall be upon us to. So here's to at least attempting to slow down, focus on the moment you're in and appreciate each day with all it brings.


retreating

Taking some time out from your daily routine is such a wonderful thing to do. I just spent twenty four hours in the country with some dear friends and have come back feeling refreshed and refocused on God. To have a full day to listen to him and read his word was such a blessing to me. Whatever your focus, having time to rest and relax away from the demands of life is truly good for the soul.

Be still, and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10


that friday feeling

It's half term and I'm feeling thankful for a whole week off to relax and spend time with some great people.


hello autumn

It's definitely feeling colder now. Autumn is in full swing. I am thoroughly enjoying watching the leaves change colour, cosying up under blankets and drinking lots of tea. I didn't expect to be around for this season but a delay in moving abroad means I get to see another English Autumn and so I intend to make the most of it!
