There is nothing better than a morning of apple picking; wrapping the children up in their scarves and hats (if it’s cold enough to warrant it) and looking at their cute, red-cheeked, smiley faces as they run around looking for apples. “Mama, I gots one, I gots one!” These are the days and things I…
In Autumn I start to turn in on myself. We still go outside a lot, the crisp air and crunchy leaves are as good for my soul as they are for the children’s. But in the evenings and the quiet times throughout the day, I start to slow down and find myself repeating steps I’ve…
I absolutely adore autumn, and I also adore the transition from the hot summer period with its lush green grasses and fields of golden wheat, into the cooler mornings and the red and crimson leaves of autumn. I feel that this transitional period gets forgotten about with social media and shops switching from one to…
We have been feeling really quite unwell in this house for the past few weeks. It’s horrid when you feel too poorly to make yourself good food, but we are starting to come out the other side; I am managing to get dressed most days and am able to stand up long enough to cook…

We have finally been blessed with good weather and have been taking advantage of this by going on lots of walks and plenty of trips to the park. On Saturday when at the park we picked some elderflower; I have been watching it slowly bloom on the last few trips and today we showed the…
I’m a big fan of the concept of hygge. It’s a Swedish word that doesn’t translate exactly into English but roughly means ‘cosy feeling’. There is lots of information about how to incorporate hygge into your home but it mostly has an autumn/winter feel to it as it’s all about cosying up against the chill outside…
Midsummer is something we have been celebrating for the last ten years. You can go all out with friends and family or you can have a quiet little celebration at home. We tend to go for the latter, as to us it’s another point in the year to slow down and be present in the…
