I'm into Jesus, and mental health. But mostly I post about crochet and my running.
🧶 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

🧶 back into the swing of it! 172 rows done. 38 left to go before Christmas (and 51 days to do it in). #foliageblanket #januarychallenge

🧶 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

🔦🧗🏻‍♀️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

👟 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

🧶 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

🧶I've frogged and redone the error rows, and added another row on as well. Progress is happening as Autumn comes in and we welcome October. #januarychallenge #foliageblanket #crochet #crochetsky #craftsky #wip

🧶 I've checked the stitch pattern multiple times and then finally resorted to looking at the diagram pattern. And yes, 3 rows ago (2 white 1 green) I made a mistake. Can you see it? #crochet #craftsky #crochetsky #wip #frogging

👟 it was a chilly morning for a run today. Cold 🚿 showers have been fine throughout summer but can't say I'm looking forward to it today! #run #running #slowaf

🧶 an unusual partial row WIP photo today- I crocheted all the way through the #Strictly launch show, and a rerun of #downton and then my fingers gave up! #crochet #craftsky #crochetsky

👟 They say it takes six weeks to build a habit. Well I've been running consistently for around 28 months and this morning I got up,and went running just because it's a Thursday. :)

🧗🏻‍♀️🔦 Swildons' through Mud Sump (still clear) to the bottom of Greasy Chimney with John and Sam today. The cave is still dry, despite the recent rain. Good trip and nice to be out of the wet and wind on the hills. #spelunking #caving

👟 planned 3 mile run #jeffing turned into a 2 mile weighted mostly walk due to rain and errands, and the fact that running even with small weights is really really hard ⛈️🏋🏻‍♀️😆 #run #slowrunning #moveformentalhealth

🧶 Autumn is here in the UK and the #foliageblanket is 2/3 complete! This feels like a real milestone. I had to frog 3 rows yesterday as well. But I've done 140 rows of each colour now. #wip #crochet #craftsky #januarychallenge
September 11, 2025 at 1:45 PM
👟 running in and out of rain clouds this morning. #slowrunning #running #movingformentalhealth

🧶 row 135 finished. Storming through! #crochet #foliageblanket #januarychallenge
