...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
End of Month Review – January
Well...its been a funny old month lol...hectic...lots of drama...a new baby...and more self care than i've had in years. Some things have been really successful, others...not. The one off things have worked well, but some of the things i've tried to add to my routine haven't stuck. Heres a run down... Start the day with… Continue reading End of Month Review – January
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)
What Children Teach Us
Really hectic day today...a new carpet being fitted in my bedroom meant that the whole room needed to be cleared by lunchtime...then throw a 2.5 year old into the mix (our grandson) and you have a recipe for disaster...or so I thought. But...he thoroughly enjoyed helping Grand-Dad dismantle the bed, had no problem being shut… Continue reading What Children Teach Us
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
