Behind the scenes of our everyday lifes – and how it might inform our products, art, creativity etc. You’ll find the Scotland Diaries here.
*LIFE* The Centre of the Storm
On Sunday night, our builder’s mother-in-law suddenly died.

*LIFE* “What the world needs now is you, sweet you.” Here’s why …
Too often we underestimate and limit what a God-led path looks like, especially in others. Here are two real-world stories of God moving in the unlikeliest of things and the unlikeliest of people.
Would you have been guilty of misjudging these situations before seeing the outcomes?
*BOOKS* *LIFE* Finally sharing Bronwyn’s story: A post about disabilities, making the most of life, and how we see others.
With the Paralympics going, and as I watch each athlete’s inspirational rise above their circumstances, my mind has turned to a disabled friend I used to have. In particular I am reminded of how much her story taught me about life and about how we see each other. (Written ten years ago, it has taken me this long to share this story.)
*ART* *LIFE* I want to talk to you about mental illness.
The secret meaning behind a piece of art I did this week and how it represents a lifelong struggle for mental health. A post I hope reaches and helps other people like me and those who care for them.
*ART* “Farewell to old England forever …”
The sun sets on our time here in England, and soon we head to our home in Scotland. To mark the bitter-sweet of the moment, I painted “Heading Home”.
