Sitting on top of the world
I finally realised that this is my last snowboarding trip. I have no courage for it. The things I like is the earring and drinking but other than that this type of holiday is not for me. For too long I have forced myself to try and like it, to fight the fear. I feel…

A change is coming
Losing who we are? I am tired of the angst of the world. I feel like people are free to erase history and change facts just because people have a feeling or a belief that can’t be proven. That lore is being created and people aren’t articulate enough to find nuance in the world. That…

An easy Sunday cooking
I have been thinking. About my life and what takes my interests at the moment. How grateful I am for my beautiful house and garden, my dog, husband and family. I am luckier than most. Today we woke up and had delicious bacon sandwiches and went for a walk to the local park. It was…

Making this house my home
My dream home. I am so lucky. I have a nice house on a nice street in an area I like. My mid terrace 1930s house won’t be everyone’s cup of tea and that’s okay. Our neighbours are pretty quiet so we don’t really have any issues with noise but the highlight of our home…

When do you choose not to finish?
When do you DNF ? I am reading a book at the moments and it’s work. Lots of people, lots of information and I am not really enjoying it, it’s not bad, it’s just not captivating and I am in 100 pages. 25% of the book is finished but I am not pleased with it.…
