February 2023

What a busy busy month! Only 28 days yet I feel I've packed in so much in February. Work has been super busy, but I have managed to find little joys in the every day. It really does help living with a dog who is just so happy to see the humans awake in the [...]

October 2022

What a busy month. October has been work work work, so having some relaxing chill time has been amazing. Having a dog has also really helped me stay present and in the moment. I understand that deadlines loom and tasks have to be completed, yet Artemis has somehow drawn me back to notice what's really [...]

August 2022

So it's been a little while since my last blog post. A lot has happened, in my personal life (which I'm sure you'll learn about reading further) and also around the world: the Queen has passed.

I've also been appreciative of bright colours, winter food, electricity, lights, and sleep. I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately, and [...]

2021 In Reflection

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 [...]

September 2021

September rolled round quickly, how are we in Autumn already? It's almost Christmas now! It appears that this month has been one of creativity, creation, food, cosy drinks, and nature for me. With baking and music too, it's as if September was an old school month of entertainment.  I have tried to actively stay present [...]
