Merry Christmas!
It’s a bit late in the day now, but wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a great day. Mine was surrounded by family; chatting, laughing and opening presents – and eating turkey of course! The only thing missing was Cameron! I got some really cool stuff, including books, DVDs, music, make

Happy Birthdays!
It was my little sister Vicky’s birthday this week, except she’s not so little anymore – it was her 21st birthday. She’s had a few days of celebrating, it started on Wednesday night in Sheffield with a big party – I think she’s still recovering from the effects of that now! It was also my

MLB Stands up to Cancer
For Game 4 of the World Series yesterday, MLB continued their partnership with Stand up to Cancer. Everyone in the crowd was given a card on the way in to the ballpark with the sentence ‘I stand up for…’, with a space to fill in the name of someone they know who has been affected

Wakey!Wakey!, Casey Shea, To Kill a King Part 1
A.K.A ‘I don’t know any executives…’ Tonight me and Frank returned back to the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham to see Wakey!Wakey again. We saw them play there in June and it was awesome, and tonight just cranked it up to a whole other level. They’ve redone the stage since last time, and it was much

One to Cross Off the Bucket List
Well, I don’t actually have a bucket list, but if I did, this would have been on it. Yesterday morning I went up to Marsden Moor with my Dad and watched the sun rise for the first time. How crazy is it that I’m 22 and that’s the first time I’ve ever sat down just

I do like to be beside the seaside…
Yesterday, I went for a day out in Cleethorpes with Vicky and Frank. Due to a slight miscalculation about how long it would take to get there (totally not my fault), we were on the beach by 8.15 (oops)! We had breakfast in our usual cafe, and then spent most of the rest of the

Happy Birthday Frank!
Happy Birthday to my little brother Frank, who is 18 today! For his birthday, he decided that he wanted to go out for a meal, so we went to the Hitching Post in Idle. Frank decided that as it was his birthday, he could finish it off with the biggest dessert on the menu –

Feeling Old…
Friday was my 22nd birthday – starting to feel old now! They say 21 is when you are a ‘fully fledged adult’, so I guess now I’m 22 I’ll have to grow up a bit! The first sign that I am getting old was when one of the players in the All-Star game on Wednesday

Road Trip
I was doing a training session for work today in Devizes. The Train Line website reckoned it would take 11 hours 59 minutes on the train, so I decided driving would be a better option(!) Devizes is about an hour from Bristol, so I drove down last night and am staying with my Uncle Alan

Chester Zoo
Yesterday I went on a day trip to Chester Zoo with my dad and brother. It’s a lot of walking so we booked an electric scooter for my dad, which he had a lot of fun using – especially when he turned the speed up to max to get away from us. The weather stayed

Happy Easter
Happy Easter to everyone! It’s hard to pick one quote to sum up the sacrifice that was made for us, but this is what I was reading this morning: John 21:29 Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’ I

Good luck to Frank!
My brother passed his aptitude test for entry into the RAF last week, with flying colours apparently – who knew he was so brainy?! He had an interview today, and if he gets through that stage, he then has to go through a medical and a physical test. We’ve all got all our fingers crossed

The Dragonfly
It was my Aunty Marjorie’s funeral today, and although the service was short, it was beautiful. The vicar told a story about water beetles, which I thought was a lovely way to describe death. We already know that God has promised us eternal life, and this was a great way to interpret that. “There was once a

Mother’s Day
First of all – Happy Mother’s Day to the best mum in the world! 😀 I took my mum for a walk around Golden Acre Park this morning. The weather was so sunny, I could have stayed sat on the bench overlooking the lake all morning. When we got there it wasn’t too busy, I

Merry Christmas
Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
