Watching: Silo on Apple TV+ - Rich and I only started this the other day but we are already hooked. Based on Hugh Howey's series which start with Wool (never read but always meant to!), this sci-fi drama is set in a bunker after some unidentified event made living outside impossible. Or so we think.… Continue reading Currently
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
I picked up this book at Chatsworth last year, drawn by the beautiful Angela Harding cover and the autumnal theme. I have read with Austin a couple of Katya Balen's shorter books, Birdsong and Nightjar. These books are published by Barrington Stoke and are dyslexia-friendly with a specific font and cream pages. Austin is not… Continue reading Autumn Reads: How I Fell in Love with Katya Balen’s Beautiful Books
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
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
The nights are closing in. This is a phrase that is usually uttered with a defeated tone. 'Closing in' certainly sounds ominous. Slightly threatening. Like a pack of wolves slowly creeping towards the door. However, I love these earlier sunsets, the longer nights, the stretches of twilight. The huge harvest moon glowed orange and bright… Continue reading Dark nights and book stacks
Watching - Slow Horses, AppleTV+ If you somehow have managed to not watch Season 1-3 of Slow Horse please do yourself a favour and get an AppleTV+ subscription so you can bask in its excellence. It is my favourite show for a long time. They release it weekly, old school-style, which is so infuriating as… Continue reading Currently
The summer has chugged along at a pace which has been at once leisurely and far too fast for my liking. I still catch myself filled with dread for the start of term only to remember that I am not returning to school. Still, I am going to miss the slower pace of life during… Continue reading Lately
I saw someone online do this and it looked so fun. You take each letter of your name and do something connected to that letter. So today I am having a go before the craziness of summer begins. K is for Kettle - I started the morning as usual with a cup of tea in… Continue reading Name Day
My sourdough toast with butter and Marmite for breakfast. Our thriving basil plant. Having a catch-up with a dear friend in Warwick and being able to sit outside (we didn't get a picture - gah!). St. Mary's Church in Warwick chiming 9 o'clock as I walked back to the car. My new little handbag from… Continue reading Five Tiny Moments of Joy
