Welcome to JOYFUL JANUARY!
I really hope you have managed to enjoy a wonderful festive season and New Year, in which ever way you chose to celebrate. It is so great to slow down a bit, enjoy catch ups with friends and family ...

Welcome all, I hope you’ve had a joyful and restful Christmas! As the celebrations start to gently wind down and we look ahead to the new year, it’s a wonderful time to reflect, recharge, and embrace the beauty of this season. Crisp, frosty mornings and the vibrant colours of winter are still here, and there’s something so magical about stepping outside to take it all in. I love being surrounded by nature, secateurs in hand, ready to gather a sprig of ivy or a perfectly twirled branch, winter’s treasures ...

Welcome to Nurturing November! The outside temperature has dropped, the mornings and nights are inky dark and it’s a definite change of season. I’ve just changed my wardrobes from summer to winter clothes, reluctantly putting away the shorts and T-shirts and getting out the woolly jumpers hoping the pesky moths haven’t eaten alive my favourite cashmere!
If you’re anything like me, you can’t help but mutter that it literally feels like yesterday, we were doing ...

Welcome to OPTIMISTIC October!
If you read my diary and blog regularly, and thank you if you do, I love to name the month in a very optimistic way! I think it’s because there comes a point in life (the benefit of getting slightly older) when you realise how precious and beautiful every single day is, let alone a new month which always brings something unique and special.
When I think of this golden month of October, I see it through the photographic lens of clear blue skies ...

Welcome to Super September!
I personally refuse to believe that September potentially brings an end to the summer and because we’ve had a pretty wet, often cold one this year, I’ve decided that whatever the weather, I am going to linger a little longer and enjoy an Indian Summer this month! Evidently the term is derived from the concept of a ‘spell of warm, hazy conditions that enabled indigenous Americans to continue hunting’! I’ll take that.
Because ...

Welcome to awesome August!
What a happy month of summer August is. Sunshine, shorts, salads, swimming, seaside and sizzling barbecues! We love it and for Mark and I, our August ends with our 48th wedding anniversary, but starts with glamping as we do every year, a chance to be with friends, enjoying the outdoors and late night chatter around the campfire.

Welcome dear friends to summery, gorgeous July. Even if the sun isn’t shining, I love the optimism of this month. I swim every day and as soon as I get home from work, don my shorts and pad around the garden and house in my shorts and bare feet! Thank goodness for SOLE BALM as this nourishing foot treatment keeps my sandal feet with that ‘just ...

Welcome to the gorgeous month of June. It’s Mark and my birthday month so it’s a double celebration for us and we plan to take a week off to spend at home and enjoy the beauty of a June garden…bliss.
And now the warmer weather has decided to grace us with its presence, we should all be thinking more about our SPF and what we’ll need this season. SPF’s should actually be worn every day of the year, but let’s be honest they really come into their own when ...
