The Soft Winter

June 1, 2025 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

Here we are, having crossed the threshold into winter. The joy of a sunny weekend after a week of rain has brought on all the joy needed to get me through the usual responsibilities, making them enjoyable once again.

Tidying Up the Garden

February 23, 2025 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 5 Comments

Yesterday morning I spent time pruning the garden. With all the rain in January, the plants had begun climbing out of the garden bed. I didn’t realise how bad it was until I began to cut them back; underneath, the grass was brown and patchy. It’s all neatened up now (I don’t want to stop … Continue reading Tidying Up the Garden

The Commonplace Notebook

May 19, 2024May 19, 2024 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

About six weeks ago I bought myself three new A5 notebooks. Two thin ones, and one thicker, but all with soft covers. I didn’t know exactly what I would use them for, but I had the vague notion of a commonplace notebook. I have a current A6 notebook I use for Bible verses, Christian quotes, … Continue reading The Commonplace Notebook
