Making Every Day Special
Why can’t we? In todays podcast episode, I ask the question ‘why can’t we make every day special’? This came about through a conversation we were having about the usual slump that comes after Christmas and how we now have to wait for Easter for some excitement. Or do we? Well my old brain started…

Remember when we used to just have fun?
I’m getting tired of this sort of thing……. Does anyone else remember when we used to just throw snowballs, skate and slide on the ice, climb rails/walls/anything that didn’t move? Every movement these days is so regulated and controlled – I CAN’T STAND IT! Please tell me I’m not alone….

Writing Challenge to kick off the year!
I think this is just the ticket to kick-start a lot of our ideas and inspiration – I know a lot of people have been struggling with that recently. I am really looking forward to reading what everyone comes up with and plan on taking part. A good idea to start 2025 the ‘write’ way!

Christmas Funnies
Hey, we made it to Friday – whether you’ve had a great week or you’re limping over the finishing line, I hope these end the week on a high note! And I’ll leave you with this: What’s the difference between a snowman and a snowwoman? Snowballs!!!

Look Up
Thought I’d share some of the skies I’ve seen over the last few days. These are a mix of allotment visits, dog walks and the like. Be it clouds, sunset or moon, I love looking up and taking some time to observe the sky.

There is a mystery afoot
We have a garden mystery which remains, as yet, unsolved. We have a bird feeding station in the back garden and I love seeing the birds coming to it and making a wonderful mess, scattering seeds all over the place which sprout and grow into the most beautiful field of weeds which I then have…

Randomness
I hope that’s really a word because I have a few random things I would like to share with you. These are just ‘things’ that have happened or ‘things’ I saw so make of them what you will. Firstly, a milestone was reached. Not a huge one by many peoples’ standards but it’s a big…

We got a trail camera!
Hubby was convinced we were getting a large visitor to the garden at night so I was determined to find out what was going on. I went shopping on Ebay and found a decent trail camera. It arrived a few days later and I opened it with the excitement of a child at Christmas. I…

Scotland was first again!
Did you know the first municipal fire service in the world was established in Edinburgh in 1824? In Edinburgh at the time, the wooden buildings were very close to each other which meant if there was a fire, it spread quickly. Some folk tried to be equipped at home by having fire buckets and if…

This is why hair straighteners are ESSENTIAL!
We made it to Friday so I thought it would be nice to give you all the opportunity to have a laugh at my expense. Every time I wash my hair, I have this to contend with and I think it’s excellent evidence why hair straighteners are not a luxury item – I couldn’t go…

Could we just be honest about this please?
In the UK many of us have adopted the term ‘home-maker’ as we didn’t like being referred to as a ‘house-wife’. I didn’t marry a house. However, this new term makes everything sound so lovely. I feel like I should be wearing some sort of flowing, cotton dress which is obviously patterned with perfect strawberries,…
