The last month of the calendar year. This post is a little later than planned, but felt I needed to reflect on the year as a whole first and look into the next year before fully appreciating this last month. So December has sure been a cold month, evidently from my daily gratitudes of warm [...]
So the new year has arrived and with it come the usual resolutions. I recall ever since I was about 12 that almost every year my new years resolution was to improve my handwriting and make it neater and more legible. That resolution has never been met. And now probably never will need to be [...]
It's the end of the calendar year. The turkey has been eaten, the gravy has been slurped, the mince pies have been nibbled, and the mulled wine has been drunk. And here I am, reflecting on the past 12 months. I'm aware this isn't everyone's cup of tea, comparison is the thief of joy and [...]
I came across Gloria Steinem's famous speech about 10 things she wants for Christmas. It was brilliant. And it got me thinking: what do I want for Christmas - this year and every year.

With baking and music too, it's as if September was an old school month of entertainment. I have tried to actively stay present [...]
August has been a heavy month for me, filled with so many emotions. Life events, a funeral, a wedding, farewells, good byes, reunions. So many emotions all in just one packed month. Places have been open for a little while now, but I feel it's only this month that we've started actually leaving the flat. [...]
