Year 11âŚ..GCSEâs, Prom Night and Leaverâs AssemblyâŚitâs a wrap!
New beginnings for our Milly, kicking off with her volunteering trip to Peru in a few weeks time.
Sheâll be embracing rural life: camping, bucket showers and long treks, whilst getting stuck into community-based projects; building schools and toilet facilities.
Itâs a huge step outside her comfort zone and we are very proud of her for taking on the challenge.
As part of her fundraising for the trip, Milly is taking part in a 5k park run tomorrow.
If you would like to sponsor Milly, the link is in my bio. Thank you.
The Lie of the Grass
âLove is like the strongest wind,
The softest breeze,
Which is their passing,
Leave memories in the lie of the grass.
So may the imprint of your love,
Stay on the meadow of my life, forever.â
A dear friend sent me this poem by Mary Sheepshanks after my father died.
A decade has passed and these words still bring me comfort, my fatherâs love shaped me and continues to do so⌠I miss him, still.
Sending love to all who are hurting today.

Spent a wonderful few days in Paris with my family.
Mabel had been wishing to visit for so longâŚwe loved our time there, she didnât want to leave.
Such a beautiful city, with stunning architecture everywhere, cafe charm and the Couture collection @museelouvre was magical.
I also just wanted to say thank you for all the messages and kind words from my previous post. I am really very grateful and feel very loved.

This photo was taken of my beautiful, loving,supportive, joyful mum on my wedding day.
Today marks 5 years since her death, and it has taken all of these years for me to understand what grief really is and appreciate what it has taught meâŚ.
I have learnt that the pain of losing someone who was your everything alters you forever but the change gives you a deeper connection to yourself as you look inwards to heal.
I have learnt that if we try to turn away from the pain it can become bigger, and in finding the courage to face it, you can bear it.
It has taught me the importance of compassion. That we are connected to one another in our loss and in sharing we can feel less alone in our grief.
I thought that I would not see my mum again⌠but I see her everywhere. We go through the seasons together, her thoughts, her sayings, her love for life all shaped me, she continues to colour my days.
I have learnt that the sadness does lift and overtime you do feel joy again. There is a brightening on the road ahead.
And I have learnt that I never loss her love, that it returns to me everyday.

Decorations are down and safely packed away. These ornaments each hold a special memory, most are from my childhood family home. Every year when I unpack them, the memories return. I am feeling nostalgic and grateful that I have such happy memories, they were joyful Christmases. And long may they continue. â¤ď¸
