Enjoying life, sharing challenges, fun in the outdoors and exploring beautiful Britain.
I've not blogged in a little while, but have lots to share! Over the last month I've prepared for and then spent a wonderful two and a bit weeks away exploring Scotland. Lots more on that to come, once I've sorted all the pictures. I've had a horrible cold this week, so weekdays involved only …
This weekend was time for #photoanhour day for March. I started my day at 8am with a quiet cup of coffee and a flick through my favourite magazine. 9am: breakfast time! Planning our day, we were off to the zoo! 10am: on our way, driving along the M4. 11am: we’d arrived at Paradise Wildife Park …
Sunday evening, telly on, time to look back at the week with Sunday Sevens. It's been a fairly quiet week, here's what I've been up to. I'm trying to vary our meals at the moment, it's so easy just to repeat the same familiar recipes. This week I've tried out two new meals, and they …
It's been a changeable week, one day sunny, the next grey and cooler. It's definitely begun to feel like spring is here. On a walk on Thursday lunchtime, I saw my first brimstone and small tortoiseshell butterflies of the year. My heart lifted to see them flutter by. The lighter days and longer evenings have …
This week has been all about pancakes!

Another week where Sunday Sevens is published on a Monday, I was away over the weekend volunteering with the National Trust and last night was all about laundry and getting ready for the week ahead. It's been a good week, with one sad event, here's how my week's been. We were very sorry to lose …
This is more Monday Sevens as I didn't manage to get the post done yesterday, but here's a little glimpse into life over the past week. I was lucky to have my parents staying last weekend, having breakfast with them on Monday morning was a lovely way to start my week before heading into work. …
It's been a grey, cold week. The air, heavy with damp, seeps up sleeves and down collars, cold chilling you to the bone, red fingers, running noses. Snow floats from leaden sky, shadows gently tumbling, momentary spots of white against dark asphalt before they melt away, too wet to stick, sleety and miserable. My least …
It's been a good week full of small moments of happiness amidst the general panic about what is happening in the wider world. Here's what I've been up to: I've signed up for lettermo, sending post every day during the month of February. Partly to prompt me to start postcrossing again, sending postcards to people all …
It's been a great week, the sun has been out, we've had a new visitor to the garden, and I've seen lots of my lovely extended family, so here's my week summed up: Monday evening saw me heading to Ash Ranges in Surrey to meet the ranger from Surrey Wildlife Trust and a group of …
