Hello, how are you? We had a weekend of tending to the cottage and garden. It feels lovely to be moving forward, getting things done instead of other years when it has felt like we were constantly playing catch up. You know those wintertime jobs that pull everything back from looking too unloved and slightly […]

Hello, It’s lovely that you are here. I know I say it a lot but it is heartfelt and truely meant. In between waiting for pie filling to cool, potatoes to roast and the dishwasher to finish, I shared some more Iphone Wallpapers on Instagram Stories last night, you may have seen them? With Instagram […]

Oh my gosh, those first moments for the year, walking about the garden and gathering a little posy for one intended purpose only. It is my favourite type of fashion time of the year, handmade shawl wearing with a flower or two or three threaded through. Bliss! My goal is to post a photo each […]

Each day when I walk up to the Back Orchard, there is Isabella, Esmeralda and Ferdinand waiting for me. They especially like it when I have the garden hose and put the sprinkler on them. My goal is to post a photo each day in May. A moment captured during the day, calming, peaceful, uplifting. […]

Putting together a special little selection of my postcards to send to someone who has shown such unexpected kindness to my Lil. My goal is to post a photo each day in May. A moment captured during the day, calming, peaceful, uplifting. Something positive as we move into the colder months in the Southern Hemisphere […]
