I can not believe that it’s February already. That last week of January, when I was feeling under the weather, definitely dragged. This month though always absolutely flies by for us and it’s one that I love.  I’m already seeing signs of spring everywhere, bulbs are coming up and the snowdrops are out. The bestContinue reading “Weekly Roundup”

It’s the last weekend of January and I have to say that this last week has not been easy. I’ve been feeling awful so this weekly roundup is dedicated to all things comforting.  When you’re feeing really poorly I sometimes find the only thing I can do is listen to a podcast.

I’ve loved Winifred Nicholson’s work for a while now, particularly her use of plants and colour, but I hadn’t seen the portraits of her children in party hats she’d painted while she was living on the Isle of Wight.

The actual evening event that is New Year’s Eve has always been a stressful time for me. More so than Christmas which I’ve always associated with family, New Year’s Eve always felt like a time for being with the friends I felt I didn’t have and as such it’s always played into my worries aboutContinue reading “New Year’s Eve”

Read a really interesting article this week from Sali Hughes in the Guardian about internet trolls. Felt pertinent in the week I decided to start writing a blog.  The weathers started to get really chilly now, especially in the morning, so I’ve been on the look out for a cute hat for the littlest.  StartedContinue reading “Weekly Roundup”
