Friday 24 April. Well, just like that, we’re up to the thirtieth day of thankfulness! I’d like to say that time has flown… but to be fair, it’s been a pretty even spread of both slow and fast days here. You’ve already heard about some of the harder ones, so Read more…
Thursday 23 April. Yes, it’s really Thursday. And yes, I’ve almost reached the end of my 30 days of thankfulness! It’s been quite a journey. Today also marks exactly four weeks since our nation entered lockdown… and what a rollercoaster that has been. You’ve travelled it with me (check out Read more…
Wednesday 22 April. Today’s thankfulness post is of the lighthearted variety, brought to you by… my husband and his fruit loaf. We’ve always known that he was a little bit fruity, right?! (Don’t worry, I promise I’m not being cheeky – those are words straight out of his mouth, I Read more…

Saturday 18 April. Today I’m choosing to be thankful for books! This week I’ve made a deliberate effort to set aside technology (including my time on here as I figure out the ins and outs of websites and blogs and so on) and spend time actually reading. You know: turning Read more…
Friday 17 April. It hasn’t been easy to write these posts; to find something to be (genuinely) grateful for. Every. Single. Day. Even the low ones, the ones where I’d rather just curl up and ignore the rest of the world. I’m sure you get it. I heard somewhere that Read more…
Thursday 16 April. Today I’m thankful for family. For my parents and grandparents, and the amazing heritage they have passed down to us. For siblings who are now aunts and uncles to our girls, for the life stories we share and the support that they are. I’m grateful that although Read more…
Wednesday 15 April. I’m sitting here with my youngest daughter snuggled beside me, considering the events of my morning. I’m not sure if ‘event’ is quite the right terminology to describe a mundane trip to the supermarket, really. Or at least, it never used to be! But this is only Read more…
