Day 22: Fill In The Blanks Friday

I forgot to do this yesterday so it’s Fill In The Blanks Saturday   1. My favourite quote is…. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you,...

Bloggers Wednesday: Becky

So following the accidental break for Christmas we’re back on track with Blogger’s Wednesday. I was ill most of December (and again last week) and blogging had to take a back seat for a little while. I’m not sure how...

Day 18 (Jan 18th)

God will never leave you empty. He will always replace whatever you’ve lost. If He asks you to put something down, it’s because He wants you to pick up something better. Found here.

Day 15 (Jan 15th)

A band/musical artist whose music impacted your life. I am one of those people that without music I think I’d go nuts or something. I wouldn’t say that one particular person has impacted my life because of their songs but...

Hello

Just to let you know. Normal blogging will resume shortly but I’m full of cold and get writers block when I look at my MacBook.

Day 14 (Jan 14th)

Describe the town where you grew up. Do you still live there? Why or why not? Apart from going on holiday and things like that I’ve lived in Bedford my whole life. Bedford is about sixty miles north of London...

Day 12 (Jan 12th)

Something you hope to change about yourself and why. My weight. I was ill for most of December and because I’d lost my appetite I was eating minimal – two days in particular I had a cup-a-soup and a couple...

Day 11 (Jan 11th)

Something about which people seem to compliment you. My odd socks – then again maybe it’s not a compliment lol. I started wearing odd socks when I was at uni, I think it was because one day I couldn’t find a...

Day 10 (Jan 10th)

Something at which you’ve been a champion or the best. When I was at school I hated sports. I love trampolining and dance but hated Netball and Rounders and the other sports that we had to play through out the...

Ruby and Branden

My friend Ruby and her hubby to be had an e-session taken by Vibrant Photography. When Branden and Ruby got half-engaged they were on the opposite side of the world from each other. During their shoot Branden re-proposed to Ruby...

Day 9 (Jan 9th)

How do you stay entertained when you are snowed in? In all honesty I don’t think I’ve ever been snowed in. I live in the southern half of the UK. So if we do get snow it’s got to be...

Day 6 (Jan 6th)

Something that excites you and fills you with joy. Almost four years ago I graduated university and after that I can count the number of times I’ve seen my friends on my fingers and toes. So something that excites me...

Day 5 (Jan 5th)

Something in life that gives you balance. Friends and God then again maybe that should be God and Friends. God – okay so I’m just going to burble about this for a sec and then move onto friends. So people...

Day 4 (Jan 4th)

Something that is part of your routine that you enjoy. Am I allowed to say sleeping or is that really unoriginal? Next would be reading as I am a serious book worm, frankly there isn’t enough time in the day...

Day 3 (3rd Jan)

Something with which you struggle. This is a tough one – I’m sure if I was to ask Chris he’d come up with a list of things that I’m not so good at or that I struggle with but do...

Day 2 (Jan 2nd)

Something you regret not having done last year. What do I regret not doing…..I’m not sure really. I guess I could have spent more time hanging out with my friends rather than becoming a bit of a recluse, but I’m...

Day 1 (Jan 1st)

Something you’re looking forward to this year. Well hopefully fingers crossed we are going to Italy later this year which is really exciting. I’ve wanted to go to Italy since I started learning Italian when I was at Upper School....
