Musings :: Moments :: Memories
On Thursdays and Fridays, my mornings look a little different to the rest of the week. A little less hectic. One of the things I have started doing recently is spending a bit of time reading some non-fiction while I have my morning cup of tea and toast. I have put my planner, writing journal… Continue reading Mornings Around Here
We haven't made any plans yet for our holidays in 2024 but there are a few places I would consider visiting if we are able to: Photo by Aleksandar Pasaric on Pexels.com Spain (including the Balearic or Canary Islands) - Evelina's favourite subject is Spanish so we would love to take her somewhere she could… Continue reading Travelling in 2024
These pieces of music are not only beautiful in their own right but also evoke so many feelings and memories. I couldn't get the list down to my usual five. And John Williams is responsible for six of them!

A couple of months ago, I started a challenge to blog every day for the rest of 2023. So far, I have managed to do so and today is Day 60. As a reminder, my intentions for the last 100 days of 2023 were: to adorn my home with seasonal decor - our autumn decor… Continue reading Mid Challenge Review
Another Sunday, another walk in the woods. I love these bright afternoon walks which give us time to catch up properly with each other, spend time in nature and get some time away from the to-do list all while giving Harper a really good run with lots of lovely woodland smells for her to explore.
We popped to the shops today and Rich wanted to look for shirts in Crew Clothing Company. I was very pleasantly surprised to see lots of things that I liked and that were in my size. I spotted the blouse on the right and liked it immediately. Rich saw the sweater on the left and… Continue reading New Threads
I had my hair done this morning and I feel like a new woman. The whole experience is rejuvenating. I go to Pelo Hair which is on the row of shops at Warwick Gates. The salon itself looks lovely and restful. The stylists are all so welcoming and friendly. The act of having someone comb,… Continue reading The Power of Pampering
Autumnal - of autumn time This is probably the least surprising given my love of the season in question but I also love the word itself and how it feels in the mouth when you say it. There is a pleasant, calming hum that suits the meaning perfectly. The word derives from the Latin 'autumnus'.… Continue reading Five Words I Love
As with most aspects of my life, I go through seasons where I am on top of meal planning and seasons where it is a shambles. I do not know why I am unable to maintain any form of regularity or routine but after years of trying to make myself stick to one, I have… Continue reading Using a Meal Matrix
Often when I am walking to school, or walking Harper, thoughts pop into my head like I am narrating my thoughts. It sounds like Meg Ryan's and Tom Hanks's characters in You've Got Mail as they write to each other. Their conversations start in the middle and are full of little profound observations like: Do… Continue reading Walking Thoughts
