I think officially autumn is my favorite season, if not purely for the brilliant splashes of colour around the place, then for the dark nights and the chance to curl up on sofas with cups of tea and read books under blankets, for the crisp blue sky days full of possibility and the ever closeness [...]

This week has been an ‘interesting’ week. I’m not entirely sure I’m going to go into all the details here on this public space, but suffice to say our Landlord has been through a pretty shocking and horrible event in the last week. Grim enough to ensure a few journalists turned up on our doorstep [...]

One of the solutions is to dance frantically around to this song with some good friends. Others might favour the prayer/trusting in the Lord approach, but you know, both are good. This from day one has been our house song. Everything is really going very wrong, but we’re so happy, so [...]

Monday morning in our house of communityness involves getting up (yes even in the unemployed state it is possible to get out of bed before 7am) and sitting in a room with 5 other sleepy people attempting to communicate with their Maker. That doesn’t involve a lot of chanting, wishing, spells and [...]

Just because today was the perfect start to Autumn. Crisp air, blue skies which the clouds had been scraped from, crunchy leaves in the park where I ran this morning, and I played this song.
“October
And the trees are stripped bare
