It's ok to be ok and it's ok to not be ok. Life throws things at you that you're not prepared for, you lose people you love, changes happen and that's just the way it is. When these things happen there is no right way of dealing with any situation, so you're allowed to do… Continue reading It’s ok

Autumn Wreath Making
For the last three years I’ve been saying I’m going to make a Christmas wreath and for the last three years, I’ve ran out of time and bought one. This year I’m going to go crazy and make an autumn wreath AND a Christmas one (maybe...). I began by looking on Pinterest for some ideas… Continue reading Autumn Wreath Making
Current Reads
I love reading, always have and always will. Ever since I could digest words with my mind, I've had a pile of books next to my bed and when I was little, my Mum would catch me reading under my duvet with a little flashlight. I did turn the TV on late one night instead… Continue reading Current Reads
Change
This is a word that some of us embrace and some of us fear. I'd like to think I fall somewhere in between, but I'm not so sure. I enjoy the idea of change as it can lead to something new and exiting, but I love routine and knowing what I need to do and… Continue reading Change
Another Bank Holiday Weekend!
I have to say, I'm hugely enjoying bank holiday season! No alarms, (mostly) sunny weather, adventures, the luxury of having endless pots of tea, reading the paper from cover to cover and having that extra glass of wine on a Sunday - just perfect. This weekend it's my Mum's birthday and I'm having Friday off… Continue reading Another Bank Holiday Weekend!
Five things that made me smile this week
Look at these faces! How can you not love lambs? These little beauties have been in the field opposite our house since they were born, so I've been able to recognise them and have so enjoyed watching them grow up - they're incredibly playful and always put a smile on my face. I find that… Continue reading Five things that made me smile this week
National Vegetarian Week
Even though I'm not a huge meat eater, the thought of going vegetarian for a week feels a bit daunting, but I'm going to give it a go! I'm totally behind this and the awareness it raises is really positive, especially with people's diets changing. It's almost impossible to avoid knowing that veganism is on… Continue reading National Vegetarian Week
Changes I’ve made to be more environmentally friendly
For years I've been conscious about the decisions I've made and impact they have on the environment, namely buying meat, and in recent years I've become more aware of all of my shopping habits. Animal welfare is of huge importance to me and I applaud anyone who leads a vegan lifestyle, but that isn't a… Continue reading Changes I’ve made to be more environmentally friendly
Five things that made me smile this week
The Wild Rabbit in Kingham is one of my favourite pubs to visit in the Cotswolds. It's not far from home, has multiple open fires, comfy chairs and is absolutely picturesque in wisteria season - perfect pub to spend a lazy weekend afternoon with the papers. Oh and did I mention that they do a… Continue reading Five things that made me smile this week
Morning Walks
There's been a lot of talk recently about mental health and ways you can help with your mental state, which I think is brilliant. I don't particularly suffer with any one thing, but I do sometimes feel overwhelmed and have a tendency to over-worry, to which I use humour and what people perceive as a… Continue reading Morning Walks
