Bottoms up
It’s Friday/ Saturday morning. I just woke up and realised I didn’t post last nights blog. Which means I broke my streak. I am so disappointed. It wasn’t a great blog but it was ready to post. It stopped raining ( I am so British I know) . It’s dare I say it, hot and…

Sweet Dreams are made of these
I am a sleeper. Lockdown has indulged me in my sleeping. I like to push the limit on my getting up times and I do t think it’s that healthy. I know we should do what our bodies tell us to do but I also know that if I sleep too long I just get…

Meet me inside my little hallway
My hallway is tiny. 3 meters long and 1m wide. The front door at one end the stairs the other but inbetween are my beautiful tiles. When we have guests we have to usher them through because there is no room to take their coats. So no one ever gets to appreciate our little hall…

Illuminating: the importance of validation
I am writing everyday and loving it. It’s a challenge but it’s a goal. I also am posting on Instagram almost everyday with @storyofmyhome but they haven’t reposted one of my photos yet. Perhaps they are not good enough. It is illuminating to me how much I need them to choose one of my photos…

In Case you didn’t know; My dog makes my home
As a cat person who just has a dog, it surprised me, How much I love my dog . He is a little bundle of joy. If I could have another French bulldog with Franks temperament I would in a heart beat, he is a great little dog. I have talked about Frank a lot.…
