Everyday Adventuring
I’m embarking on a new adventure this year - I will be studying for a masters degree! A Master of Arts in Theological Studies with the concentration in World Christianity to be precise. I wanted to share a bit of the background behind this journey, and take you along for the ride... It's not something… Continue reading I’m Going Back to University!
My alarm buzzes at 5.25am. It takes a few minutes to rouse from my slumber, but it’s not a dread I wake up with, more anticipation. I get out of bed, quietly, trying not to wake my sleeping husband. I go to the loo, have a quick swill of mouthwash then retrieve yesterday’s clothes that… Continue reading It’s 5.28, who is awake?
In January, Tom and I spent a weekend in Victoria - it was our second trip, the first was with Tom's family in April 2019. The reason for our trip was mixed - Tom was playing in a Warmachine tournament, and I just wanted to go along for the ride! We had our first mixed… Continue reading A Weekend in Victoria
I thought it would be really interesting to work out the price difference from living in the UK compared to living in Vancouver. I started gathering the prices and working on the post, but got a bit lost in a bunch of maths trying to work out percentages, so dropped the post... But having done… Continue reading Price Comparison
Since arriving in Vancouver 53 weeks ago, I've got quite used to all the subtle differences of living 4518 miles away from where I grew up.
However, a while ago Tom and I were noticing little differences, and I thought it might be fun to share some of them!

Isn't it funny how in every season of life, no matter what we have going on, we feel so busy? Even if life is relatively quiet and things are plodding along, we still struggle to catch a minute to do the things we've been meaning to do and often leave them half done... For me,… Continue reading Half Done?
Right now, I am sitting in our Poang by an ajar balcony door with my feet stewing in green tea, so I figured it's as good a time as any to write a long over due post! No, it's not a new health fad (I've not become one of those Vancouverites). I have a blister… Continue reading Spring has Sprung!
Christmas 2018 has been and gone, and we're into a new year! Before Christmas, at a young adults lunch at church we were chatting about what we were all doing over the holiday - lots of people are not from the city so visit family back home, some are more local so spend time with… Continue reading Christmas; Past, Present & Future
It’s the Christmas season which I’m sure is meant to be the time of year when things are slowing down, but it never seems to go that way for anyone I know! In terms of work - my colleague who I job share with is from the Dominican Republic and is going back to visit… Continue reading Busily Having a Vancouver Christmastime!
