Yesterday I went up to London with a friend to see a talk given by writer Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl With A Pearl Earring (amongst her many other books). It was a lovely day (even with the tube closures!) and Ms Chevalier was both inspiring and interesting. I came away realising that research doesn't… Continue reading Inspiration

Daydreaming Fuelled by Caffeine
Yesterday I had to run some errands (order a carpet and buy a Birthday cake for my grandson). So on the way home I stopped off at Costa for a large skinny latte and some contemplation (its ok, the Puggies were with their dog-sitter). I took my notebooks to do some writing but ended up… Continue reading Daydreaming Fuelled by Caffeine
A Quiet Moment
Yesterday was such a busy day. We had a carpet fitted in the spare bedroom which meant that everything had to come out, and then go back in once the carpet was down. By the evening (when the husband went off to chess) I was in desperate need for some quiet time. So I did… Continue reading A Quiet Moment
DIY Crystal Healing
Last week a lovely friend of mine gave me a little bag of Crystals... Such a wonderful and thoughtful gift (thank you so much honey!)...which reminded me that I have a collection of crystals in storage (I have loads of stuff in storage...long story lol) that I haven't seen for about 5 years! Whilst clearing… Continue reading DIY Crystal Healing
Time to Hydrate
I've never been a huge fan of water, preferring tea, coffee and Pepsi as a way to hydrate. But, i'm fully aware that I should drink more water. I even have a collection of water bottles lol. I know all the benefits of being hydrated, so i've been trying to have a glass every morning… Continue reading Time to Hydrate
The Thing About Yoga Is…
...it looks so simple, but it's bloody hard 🤣 For Christmas my husband bought me a book on Yoga...by New Years Eve it had been put on the book shelf and there it has sat ever since. Why? Because even reading it, looking at the pictures, was exhausting! As I was looking at all the… Continue reading The Thing About Yoga Is…
Doing Nothing…
Ok, well, not actually doing nothing...I watched a TED Talk. I used to watch loads until I discovered Podcasts, so it was nice to watch one again...its been a while. Stumbled across this gem by Andy Puddicombe (who I subsequently find out is the co-creator of Headspace - thanks Google) which is well worth the… Continue reading Doing Nothing…
Colouring for Adults
When my kids were little I would buy them colouring books and pencils/pens. We'd all sit down for a colouring in session...but within 20 minutes, i'd be the one left colouring while they'd all gone off to find something more interesting to do lol As a child, I was never much good at drawing, but… Continue reading Colouring for Adults
A Good Old Natter
I love to chat...probably too much lol. When I was at school I was always getting in trouble for not listening and chatting to my friends *sniggers* Yesterday I met a friend for coffee at Baskervilles Coffee House. It's a great place...small...very friendly staff and good food (Gluten free & Vegan cakes!). Their Avocado on… Continue reading A Good Old Natter
