June 2023

Well June appears to be a month of food and flowers for me. I also went on holiday and actually left these shores for the first time since the pandemic; but man am I happy to be home and have my creature comforts! Reading back on my gratitude journal I realise that I love ice [...]

May 2023

May has been a restful month filled with lots of sweet treats and birth. It's my birthday month and now two dear friends also have May babies, literally. I've been appreciating sleep, rest, and nature; really admiring the garden and blooming flowers out on dog walks. I've been grateful for life and food, the most [...]

Dunsborough Park and Gardens

Last month we visited Dunsborough Park and Gardens. I had heard that the gardens are only open to the public a few weeks of the year, and of course with tulip season in full swing, I wanted to see some beautiful tulips. Getting there Dunsborough Park and Gardens is in Ripley Village. We followed the [...]

April 2022

Spring has sprung! April has been bringing me lots of nature, blooming flowers, birds, and sunshine. It has been a super busy month - I worked 18 days straight - but, perhaps surprisingly, I haven't been as burnt out as one might expect. These days I feel I'm better at refilling my cup, finding joy [...]

February 2022

It appears that February has been a music-driven month for me. I have been listening to instrumental Disney songs throughout the month and watched Sing 2 and have been really enjoying listening to music and feeling the feels that come with it. I've also been grateful for little every day things: electricity, shelter, and food. [...]

July 2021

July has been a rollercoaster month, to say the least. So many emotions, so many feels, so much confusion and revelations and learning new things about people I thought I knew. It's been a sad month too. I've had an amazing support network to get me through and it's crazy how the littlest of things [...]

Tulip Festival at Hampton Court Palace

Inaugural Tulip Festival Over 100,000 tulips have been planted for the inaugural tulip festival at Hampton Court. The festival was for 3 weeks and ended earlier this week. Hopefully there will be another tulip festival next year, of course I'm biased - tulips are my absolute favourite. These flowers are so colourful and vibrant. I [...]
