There are some brilliant TV shows returning for new seasons in 2025. Here are five I am eagerly waiting to watch: Severance - this Apple TV+ is worth the cost of the subscription alone. It is brilliant television. We rewatched the first season in preparation for season two which starts on 17 January and I… Continue reading Five Shows for 2025

These are five films that jump out to me: Snow White - I know these film has been… Continue reading Five films for 2025
25 in 2025
Following on from my review of the 24 things I wanted to do in 2024, I have put together my list for 2025. As you can see, these are all tangible things that can be achieved. These things are not habits; habits are not easy to measure, or to tick off so therefore I am… Continue reading 25 in 2025
Word of the Year 2025
If you have been here for a while, you will know that I like to choose a word that will be a guiding force for the year. Some years, it has been a powerful way to help me move forward; some years, I have barely even thought about the word. Last year, the word 'brave'… Continue reading Word of the Year 2025
Reviewing my 24 in 2024

Or so we think.… Continue reading Currently
Family Memories: Finishing Our 2019 Project Life Album
One of the items on my 24 in 2024 list was to complete a Project Life album. I have so far completed from July 2014 until the end of 2018 and I wasn't sure if I should just start with this year and live with the gap. What I love about this approach is that… Continue reading Family Memories: Finishing Our 2019 Project Life Album
Hello October
On Sunday, we got out in between showers for a hearty walk at Welcombe Hills. We always manage to leave it too late for conkers, usually collecting what is left some time in mid-October. This year we managed to get there while it was still September and we still found most of the conkers had… Continue reading Hello October
Elusive routines
I have written before about my suspicions that my brain is perhaps not neurotypical. I think this is the reason that I have struggled with establishing and maintaining regular routines. This in turn has meant that I have strived for this elusive routine for years, thinking that I was deficient in some way because I… Continue reading Elusive routines
