Beauty Grace & Strength. A step by step. ….

Hello! Enjoying the sunshine and the Olympics? We spent the day getting the Rugby Club venue ready for all the lovely Clarity crafters who are arriving for Day 1 of the Retreats tomorrow. It was all going so well! Breakfast for the lads to give them energy – Hahahaha. It always makes me laugh  how I can paint such an idyllic picture on here… We like charred, they cheered! “Let’s have a Bar-B in the garden and kick back this…

Putting in the Action.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Wednesday’s blog is the one where we get mindful, look at what we’re doing,  how we’re doing it,  and why we’re doing it! Well, I can tell you I am spending today with my parents; I shall take them for lunch to the nice farm shop they like. Why? Because they will enjoy it, because I can,  and because I love them. There aren’t many people in this world who love me unconditionally, as they…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in! How’s it going?  Been following the swimming? Well done to Adam Peaty and Team GB.  I do enjoy the pool events. Definitely better at swimming than trampolining! When I was a student, I used to be a life guard, you know! Down the Black Lion in Gillingham. Pretty much lived down there every break we got. Loved it. Best job ever for a student! We have a fab set of Diver’s Stamps. Really retro…

TRAMPOLINE GOLD

Hiya! Thanks for popping in. Welcome to the Blogathon! Have we won any gold medals yet? So while we’re jumping around up in Peterborough  today and tomorrow at the studios, let’s have some fun here… Been looking at the list of activities.

Paul’s ready with the camera,  I’ve…

What have Andy Murray and tomorrow’s Groovi Plates got in common?

Olá (Portuguese for Hello!) Thanks for dropping in. What a beautiful sunny day it is here in the South-east! Did you watch the Opening Ceremony in Rio? It was one to remember… From poignant visual statements about climate change, to hosting the first team of no land, of world refugees, who – if you take the time to read their stories – deserve a gold medal just for getting there. Very humbling. And with a wonderful, uplifting crescendo,  the games…
