The Winmau Blade 6

Having a dartboard that is ready to throw within my own space is a dream come true for me because I love playing darts, and it feels so relaxed just forgetting everything and throwing. The Blade 6 is the first ‘Blade’ type board I have owned or played on for any length of time. The […]

Lost

It is lonely sat here on my own as my whole family (including Billy) have gone to Wales Glamping although Jamie and I both agree it’s still camping! As much as I dislike camping I dislike the feeling I have right now more of having no purpose, even when Mommy took Reagan and Lincoln to […]

Survival mode

I woke up feeling under the weather but brushed it off as hay-fever or possibly a bit of a cold so went to work as normal. I was driving to Congleton and it was like I was struggling to keep the car on the road like I was drowsy and unable to concentrate? I got […]

The 18th November

I think the 18th of November is my date, its my sabbatical date I have been thinking about that date a lot lately, its a way off yet, but it’s on my mind already. I love my life, but I know I can take away one thing and I can love it still, as much […]

Pocket screws

Got two initial frames made for my window openings and bought some 20mm x 119mm wood that will be the facia part of the windows split down by my table saw to 56mm I was going to glue up but I’m now thinking using pocket screws too? I just want the hinges to be robustly […]

So I have really struggled to start building the opening part of my shed window, not least because I did not know what hinges I would use. Once I knew that, then I could make the frame but using the caliper type openers like Jamie’s meant a lot of router work even then may not […]

It’s Tik Tok

The beautiful homecoming we have longed for and Reagan is centre of attention recounting stories from her adventure to Hamburg with MCC youth she sat there perched on a chair eating cereal, we were all listening with baited breathe…and she turns on Tiktok? I hope the trip was great but its late I’m tired you […]

The gym

Sat in the café of the new leisure centre in Congleton feeling so utterly out of place and frustrated that yet again Middlewich has been overlooked. It is a really nice facility with lots of amenities including a pool gym and spa and although it is right up Jamie’s street I am here to swim […]

The Mask

We all wear masks to put out to others who we want to be in their eyes, and forget who we really are because it might not be perfect? Lincoln got to choose the film whole his sister was away in Germany and when he suggested The Mask we were all happy full of steak […]

Spread your wings

Reagan left this morning for Germany her first foreign trip on her own, another sign she is growing up far too quick. The trip was organised by the church as an introduction to the youth of missionary work by packing light and still being able to enjoy She was nervous about leaving us but also […]
