As we seem to be hurtling towards Advent, I'm so grateful for a few days away to rest, walk & study. The last couple of days have been glorious & I've explored Rhossili Bay, Mumbles (no pics), & Port Eynon. Didn't even need a coat today. #gowerpeninsular #gratefuleveryday

Back to ministry last Sunday and NHS job today, but holding onto happy memories of life after Cs cancer - and loving that her hair now gets in her face in the sea breeze! #TYACancer #HodgkinLymphoma #remission #twoyears #gratefuleveryday

So I devour @ellygriffiths Ruth Galloway novels but have never explored the salt marshes and coastline of North Norfolk before - just day trips to Hunstanton. Can absolutely see the appeal now!

Three home communion / pastoral visits this weekend have reminded me of the intense pain of loneliness experienced by many of our elderly😪😪💔

Back here this week for Cs latest cancer check up. All going well on the cancer front but she still struggles a lot with ongoing chemo side effects - regulating body temperature and chronic fatigue particularly troublesome. #HodgkinsLymphoma #TYAcancer #2yearsremission

Sometimes working from home is great. Sometimes you have to share your chair during a meeting. ..

Pertinent reminder. Last essay of MA Y2 submitted yesterday. House cleaned. H & L away for weekend with their dalmatian puppy so just me and my little old dog. So much Church admin & prep to do plus some NHS stuff I want to catch up on but today I rest. Just rest. #selfcare

My amazing MA colleagues have their results for latest essay - the last of 2nd year. Having been poorly I'm still slaving away through brain fog, fatigue, our interregnum & NHS job so have another 2 weeks. In the Diocesan library today. Goliath has left his boots behind again!

On 1st day of nurse training I met C & D. 41 years later we have 2 husbands, 7 kid & 2 grandkids between us. All still working in NHS. Been through many ups & downs together. Met up for lunch today & I was reminded how blessed I am by these friendships! #gratefuleveryday
