For several years now (since 2017) I’ve been tracking my year in numbers – measuring the year according to all the things that are important to me and which I value the most: family time; love and connection; travel; creativity; helping others and personal challenges/growth. 2021 has been yet another strange year and honestly I…
I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I originally created this blog as a…
I found December quite overwhelming. I’m usually pretty good at managing all the festive madness (lists are my superpower!) but this year felt a little more challenging than usual.

I really enjoyed October this year – I’m not usually a fan…
Back in June 2021, after spending the first part of Whitsun half term in Edinburgh, we were invited to spend a few days at Cameron Lodges on the shores of Loch Lomond in western Scotland. We were really impressed with our whole experience there: everything from the 5* luxury accommodation; to the superb resort facilities;…
