I'm into Jesus, and mental health. But mostly I post about crochet and my running.
👟 cold dark slow run this morning, but if I wait till it's no longer cold and dark in the mornings then I won't be running till May😄 #running #slowrunning #moveformentalhealth

🧗🏻‍♀️🔦 #caving log. Goatchurch cavern. Solo trip to familiarise myself with the cave so I can take the children in the school holiday.

🧶 I was so close! I was going to finish the complicated pattern before Stranger Things, do the border during, and be done before yarn shop visit tomorrow. But I made an error, had to frog 2 whole rows of both colours, and then kept going wrong as watching TV! #crochet #wip #foliageblanket #craftsky

👟 morning run as the sun came up today, which wasn't as picturesque as it sounds under the grey skies. First run without a single cough, and first cold shower since being ill too :) #moveformentalhealth #movetocave #slowrunning #running

Janet and anxiety

👟 managed to run/walk a whole mile for the first time since being ill. Being out in the fresh Mendip air helped! #moveformentalhealth #running #slowrunning #grateful

🧶 190 rows completed, 20 to go and I'm on the final stretch to get the blanket done before Christmas! #crochet #crochetsky #wip #foligaeblanket #januarychallenge

🧶 waiting to board the plane to Edinburgh to deliver Mental Health Friendly Church Training in Dundee tomorrow for @KintsugiHope.
Getting a cheeky square or two in during the wait! #crochet #craftsky

🧗🏻‍♀️🔦 Caving Log. Wed 12/11. Swildons' Hole. Myself, Jack and his colleague Tom. Good trip down to Sump 1 for Tom's first time caving. Swildons' is wet again, with the sump full and foam on the top and a proper stream over the 40' (which is only 8' )drop.

👟I've had a couple of weeks off exercise whilst I recover from a virus and autumn has progressed whilst I've been ill. Tester run today which aggravated the cough so back sooner than planned for a hot shower. I want to be well enough to cave on Wed. #takeiteasy #moveformentalhealth #slowrunning
November 10, 2025 at 9:02 AM
🧶 back into the swing of it! 172 rows done. 38 left to go before Christmas (and 51 days to do it in). #foliageblanket #januarychallenge
November 4, 2025 at 8:54 PM
🧶 this is a no-progress crochet update! I've been working on a different project for a bit, and then this week been too ill with a cold to be able to crochet. When my head is clear I will be back on it! #januarychallenge #craftsky #crochet #nowip
November 1, 2025 at 10:52 AM
🔦🧗🏻‍♀️Another good #caving trip today. Only to Sump 1 and back in Swildons', but the addition of carrying the tackle sac and the water which has started to appear with the wet autumn weather presented more of a challenge. I left suitably tired out :) #spelunking #MoveForMentalHealth
October 24, 2025 at 5:31 PM
👟 out before the sunrise and back before small people left for school. 3 miles done. Brand new toe blister: how does that happen when no change in socks and trainers? #run #running #moveformentalhealth #runsky #slowaf

🧶the blankets too large/the floor is too small for full photos till the end now! So for those of you enjoying the dot matrix printing effect, here is the leading edge at row 164. #januarychallenge #foliageblanket #crochet #craftsky

A Tale of Two Churches

Here in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch, in a small church hall, I am witnessing the building of another great monument to the glory of God, built this time not with stone and timber but with love and hope.

🧗🏻‍♀️🔦 First solo caving trip today. Practiced rigging the 20 ladder in Swildons'. #spelunking #caving #moveformentalhealth #challenge
October 13, 2025 at 8:06 PM
🧶 161 rows down, can you believe there's still 49 more to go! It was meant to be single bed sized, but as you can see from this lovely budget chain double bed, it's a wee bit bigger than that. So, 49 rows, and 76 days till Xmas. It's do-able! #crochet #wip #januarychallenge #foliageblanket #craftsky

👟 Got my mile jog in after church this morning. Blue skies and a light breeze today. #run #running #slowaf #moveformentalhealth

👟 slow run-walk under grey skies this morning. Good to be out and moving tho, as I have a long drive to Ely this evening. And there always flowers. #moveformentalhealth #run #running #slowaf
