7 things I have loved this month…. January blues
I can’t believe January is almost over. It’s been a hard slog mentally. Me and Gavin have had a few chats about how we are feeling about what’s going on and each other. It was a very quiet conversation but vital to keep going. I implore you to talk, to friends, family and loved ones.…

A moment in time: strength and fragility
Last year taught us how equally strong and fragile we are. I am. You are. We are because we are here. We are strong because we got through last year. We are fragile because we have no idea what the future holds. None. We think of snowdrops as a fragile flower but it blooms in…

Home items influenced by Instagram but do I need them? An introspective look at marketing
We have all been there, looking at images and wanting them for yourself. They may not be to your taste… like last years obsession with pampas grass or faux flower arrangements… no thank you. We all get influenced. But do we really want the same as everyone else’s home or do we just want our…

There is nothing wrong with coping however you want. For me, being busy and organised means that I get to have weekends rather than days…

A moment in time: crimes against democracy
A moment in time is supposed to capture a good moment but not this time. As soon as the White terrorism in the Capitol erupted I was glued to the television, Twitter and @shaunking on Instagram. We flicked through the news until we slept, then the next morning we watched more horror stories erupt. It…

Scrubbing the kitchen
I will be painting the kitchen, hopefully this month. But before I start I need to gut it, organise and throw away anything old and broken. It has taken me two days to gut it and I still have a wee bit of work to do. It feels good. It feels great to have a…

Planning the next year: goals and resolutions for 2021
I thought I would plan with you for next year. I am keeping my goals small but achievable with a few exceptions. It’s time to get my thinking cap on and work out what I want to achieve. Every year I put down learn french and learn to drive. Yes I should learn to drive…

7 things I have loved this month: December
December 2020 has been a funny one and not in a good way. We have all experienced so much in different ways. It has made a lot of us reflect on what we want out of life. I still like to focus on the positives even though my mental health has been tested this year.…
