Musings :: Moments :: Memories
We refined my new reading spot over the weekend with a chair which is actually comfortable to sit in and so I spent a few minutes there enjoying the new space, reading an old journal. I have so many journals which have just the first 10-20 pages with writing and I was thinking I should… Continue reading Time travel
I had so much fun making my 2019 Project Life album last year so I definitely want to make another one for 2020 this year. I have enough supplies for at least one more year, I think and then after that, I will need to see what size albums and pocket pages I can get… Continue reading Memory keeping in 2025
The beginning of the year always seems to feel like a non-fiction kind of time for reading. I have physical copies of all the following books which will also support my reading goal of reading 40 physical books in 2025. The Plan by Kendra Adachi - this book on time management has been written for… Continue reading Five Non-Fiction Books for 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
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

(Windsor Castle, Skenfrith Castle, Raglan Castle, White Castle) FOUR castles not including ice skating at Warwick Castle! Visit three new National Trust properties. (Charlecote, Baddesley Clinton, Packwood House and Canons Ashby so far) Go… Continue reading Reviewing my 24 in 2024
Happy new year! It has been a rather muted start to the year. Life is a bit slower than usual. It is going to be tricky to get us all back into the swing of normal life as we have settled rather nicely into the easy mornings and late nights of the Christmas period. Over… Continue reading Hello 2025
With a few days left in the year, I have already met my new goal to read 60 books in the year. It is now exactly a year since I stopped teaching and I do not think that it is a coincidence that my ability to read more is a direct result of having more… Continue reading 60 Books in 2024
Another reading post! This seems to be the thing I am writing about most and it will not surprise you to learn that I have already met my reading goal of 50 books for 2024. I have reset the goal to 60 and I am on track for meeting that by the end of the… Continue reading Winter Reads
There are some of my favourite reads from the autumn season: The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods (Kindle) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I really enjoyed loved The Lost Bookshop. Set in Dublin, a mysterious, hidden bookshop seems to appear out of nowhere. This isn’t just any shop, though; it's a place where secrets are kept, and it has the… Continue reading Autumn Reading
