Oh my how time ticks on! This week marks one month until our due date and I am working on processing the fact that – assuming that the little Gelfling doesn’t see fit to make an early appearance – we’re having a baby next month! I do so admire those “proper” bloggers with weekly pregnancy diary entries. […]

Autumn: A Playlist
I began creating a new autumnal playlist with a bit of a different vibe to all the others out there, but then I though… if Fleet Foxes aren’t included on your track list have you even made an autumn playlist though? So, although I’ve popped in a couple of random songs I’m loving into the mix too, […]
An evening with Yoga Brunch Club
As evening fell on a warm June day, I joined a group gathered to enjoy a yoga class with a difference. Yoga Brunch Club – as the name suggests – can usually be found popping up on a weekend morning, with brunch clubs held regularly in Bristol and London. Switching things up for this midsummer […]
Glimpses of a summer on film
I’ve had my Lomography Diana Mini a couple of years now but this is only the second film I have had developed from it. I go through phases of taking it with me on adventures and then forgetting about it all together for a while meaning that the shots I’ve got back span across a […]
The Rhythm Of My Working Day
“The value of a watch is not in being able to tell how much time has passed, but in being aware of the need to make that time count.” I’ve written this post in collaboration with JORD wooden watches, this quote from their website sums up something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Now I work for […]
Words: A Day Away
Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence. Each person deserves a day away […]
On Blogging
So, it’s been a good couple of months since I posted here. The hiatus wasn’t exactly planned, but it also wasn’t entirely unintentional either. Although I’ve been blogging in one form or another for the best part of a decade, I’ve never exactly been great when it comes to consistency. During the final few months […]
Playlist: Winter Winds
This is a playlist I return to every year around this time. A playlist of songs that aren’t quite Chrismassy but seem to evoke the seasonal spirit. It’s perfect if you’re beginning to feel festive but you aren’t quite ready to embrace Bing just yet…maybe you’re a Grinchy Christmas music hater, or maybe you just […]
Pumpkin Salad with Fig & Goats’ Cheese
This seasonal pumpkin salad with fig & goats’ cheese is so full of the joys of autumn I simply love it! I have this thing with pumpkins, they just bring me so much joy to look at and eat that I can barely walk past them without buying one. Seen as my local greengrocer has […]
Inspiration: ‘Reversal Of The Muse’ Podcast
I am a podcast junkie – I listen to them on a daily basis and love their company when walking or travelling, whilst working, when I’m doing house chores or in the wee hours during bouts of insomnia. As I listen to them so much I’m always on the hunt for new shows to download and […]
