Another hectic weekend which just seemed to fly by...but...there is always chance to take just 5 minutes... I have to drink my tea (even herbal tea) from a bone china cup. It just tastes so much nicer 😊 I'm getting used to the Ginger Tea (the Cinnamon one i'm not so keen on)...but I need… Continue reading Ginger Tea

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
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
The 52 Lists Project
Last week I wrote a post about my love list and how making lists can be life changing (according to the BBC). We've decided to move house, so as i've been packing stuff up, to go into storage (to make the house look less cluttered lol) I came across a book that I think my… Continue reading The 52 Lists Project
Quiet Contemplation
It was absolutely freezing today, but, at lunch time the sun came out and I found myself actually enjoying the cold fresh air and the stillness of the River Medway. Sometimes, just taking a moment to stop, look around and be present is just all you need (until the seagulls start sqwarking! lol)
Lushness
Luxuriated in french kisses and plum rain this morning and I smell wonderful! I'm also feeling pretty bloody relaxed. Sometimes, all it takes is a bath full of bubbles 😉
Rainy Days & Sundays
The weather in my little corner of the UK today has been grim to say the least. The sort of weather that makes you want to curl up with a good book. So thats exactly what I did...well, three good books. No chores...no cooking (we had a takeaway), just reading and dog walking. The perfect… Continue reading Rainy Days & Sundays
A Bit of a Lie Down
Didn't get to bed until late last night (the husband had a chess match) so this morning I really didn't want to get up...I was knackered lol I'm sleeping an average of 7 hours a night now (thanks to the Magnesium!) but I feel like I could sleep for 8 or 9, if the Puggies… Continue reading A Bit of a Lie Down
