Hawthorn at dawn
The world was cold, quiet, and beautiful this morning until the birds started their joyous salutations on my walk with Scooch. She is heavily pregnant now, this most loving of house squatters, so our stroll was at a much slower pace than usual. https://videopress.com/v/qA9dKD0L?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fvideos.files.wordpress.com%2FqA9dKD0L%2Fvid20230415063840_mp4_std.original.jpg&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true After spending some time appreciating the beauty of the hawthorn, then…… Continue reading Hawthorn at dawn
The Monday munch: how my dad’s way of doing things inspires delicious dinners for busy days.
Cooking at home is not just necessary as our daily fuel and nutrition, it is also a way to express love for whoever you are feeding. My dad taught me that.

Monday mood
Ice and going outside The ice has thawed for now, and it is lovely to be able to get out and about more. I’ve been visited by a fear of falling many times since an accident that left me unable to walk for a year. When when the ground is frosty I often stay indoors.…… Continue reading Monday mood

Creativity and cosy rest: what Winter is teaching me (and the power of the pause).
Daylight delights It has been cold and frosty recently. As I write this, on a dark January morning, a deep sense of peace and contentment is enveloping me. I am cosy and well-rested. Self-employment requires a massive amount of work behind the scenes, and today I will take it easy.
