Car trouble + garden issues = a difficult week to find the wins
I have tried, I swear I have. I’ve prepped beds, weeded like my life depended on it, checked the weather forecast…frequently but I still haven’t got the plot fully planted. I have finished putting up the supports for the peas & beans and even got peas planted out. When I went back up to put…

Veg, Vibes & Chicken Wire!
Allotment update We went to the plot on Sunday even though I wasn’t quite feeling in the mood. I don’t know what it was but I’ve heard it described as ‘meh’. When we got there, I tried to focus on what actually needed done and one thing I had to do was water the broad…

Please send positive thoughts our way!
My stress levels are going through the roof – I need your positive thoughts. Well hello friends, it’s Monday as I’m typing this and tomorrow is a day this family has been dreading for some time. Why? You might be asking. Well, it’s because tomorrow is the first of 2 appointments for Dearest Son at…

I caught myself doing something today and wanted to share it to help you be more kind to yourself. Like most people, I’ve always struggled with self criticism.

Do You Have a Favourite Day of The Week?
Here is why I don’t always jump to Friday. I was thinking about this earlier today when I worked out which day of the week it actually was. Have you ever spent a whole day thinking it was one thing then finding out it was something completely different and Bingo – you’ve gained a day?…

The Comfort of Solitude
I sit outside on cool dry grass, just me, on my own. I have the sun and the gentle breeze. I sigh contentedly – enjoy the quiet – enjoy the calm. A loud buzz lets me know of a bee’s approach. I watch him bounce from flower to flower. Does he see me, I wonder?…

Looking forward to making changes
Hold on tight and strap in friends because several fires have been lit under my butt and I’m itching to share. Firstly, I have been working slowly on the decluttering process of the house for a while and was delighted last week when I managed to remove 2 boxes, 1 black bag and a carrier…
