Moment in time: Stay warm
It’s cold, we had more snow than expected. So I hope you are all warm and safe. As pretty as the snow is we all know that families will be choosing between food and heating. People sleep rough may not make it through the night and wildlife will struggle to stay warm and find food.…

Autumn feels: it getting colder
The temperature has dropped and autumn feels like it has taken root. The coats have come out, the duvets are now on the beds. We are contemplating putting the heating on but we will wait for now. I dug all my hoodies out so we can layer up and the sofa blanket is going in…

We need to stop wishing the winter away
All I am reading at the moment is that spring is in the air and that warmer weather is on its way. It is. But we need to stop wishing the winter away. It’s so important to the garden and indeed to our mindset. It so important to enjoy the little things. I have had…

An early family Christmas
In my household we have always had multiple Christmas meals due to my father being in the Army. That’s just the life you live when a member of your family is part of the armed forces. Christmas to me isn’t the 25th. It’s when my family can be together. This year I get two Christmas’s…

Talking a long walk: feeling grateful
I had a few errands to run and took Frank a long for the walk. It ended up being a really long walk with two parks and a tired dog. Watching the trees change colour is good for the soul. This country can be so beautiful. I put on a podcast and just walked and…

Wrapping Up
Frank loves nothing more than wrapping up and snuggles. Before I had a dog I thought it was just cats that slept all day, it’s not true. Frank is a sleeper and an eater. It’s cold now, we went from a September heatwave to a rainy days and nights. The temperature has dropped and the…

Autumn Daze: walks runs and bringing the outside in
The air is cooler, fresher. We just took Frank for a walk in the night air and I was too wrapped up to be comfortable. Frank loved it. His little paws on the pavement, chasing shadows and the haunting of cats past. We love a walk. We go regardless of the weather, although Frank prefers…

Best foot forward: Autumn porch update
My porch isn’t big, just a bit bigger than the door but I love it. A porch offers shelter from the weather and a bit more security, because for me it’s all about security. Out porch has Victorian inspired tiles a mat and lots of cobwebs, I would normally wipe them away but it’s October.…
