As we write this latest blog post we’re excited to share news we’ve been longing to bring you. Since we said goodbye to our little Lentil, we’ve been praying that we would in time be blessed with his little brother or sister. And that time has come. Baby Moore is expected in September. For weeks we’ve…

In the coming days I’ll be doing a fair bit of travelling and it got me thinking about journeys and destinations, and the different ways of looking at them. When it comes to the experience of travelling, there are different types of people. There are those who enjoy the journey, relishing every step along the…

It’s that time of year again; the time when we traditionally eat our body weight in pancakes on Shrove Tuesday then give up something we love until Easter.

The move from one year to the next is often a time for reflecting on the highs and lows of the last 12 months and thinking about changes that could be made in the next 12. It can be a time of celebration, but it can so easily become a time of beating oneself up.…

Throughout Advent I’ve been posting a photo a day to make up my very own #SocialMediaAdventCalendar. One photo and one Bible verse a day for 24 days; that simple. And today, Christmas Eve, I’ve brought them all together here so you can catch up if you missed them or recap if you didn’t. Here’s wishing…
