A walk round the garden
I am enjoying January so far. It was cold and very dark this morning and I was grateful I could stay in bed and get on with my jobs. It’s a frosty sunny morning and I am worried that my tulips and daffodils aren’t going to make it, due to the mild winter and now…

Relaxing with candles
My wonderful friend bought me this Dyptique candle for my birthday. I have lusted after these candles for years and she treated me to one, fun fact, after having Covid she still hasn’t got her sense of smell, so asked her friend to smell it! It smells like heaven, just taking it out of the…

I love buying a new bullet journal every year. New year, fresh start and I do use and live in my bullet journal. New things to plan and this year is going to be hectic. I follow this beautiful company called Papier and they make journals using V&A prints. I fell in love with this…

Cancel culture and the beauty of social media
Last week we had two white English ( hope that’s right) young girls being cancelled for comments. One said too many racist things to be excusable and yet she excused herself without a proper apology, where she held no accountability for her harmful words. The other, the front of a fast fashion company and spoke…
