A small collection of rambling thoughts, a few notes about feelings and a selection of little stories from the last nine weeks of lockdown life which, for some reason, I feel compelled to share. Perhaps simply to document them as a memento of these strange times and maybe also partly so that they exist outside…
April has quite possibly been one of the strangest, loveliest and most frustrating (in equal measures) months that I’ve ever experienced. We’ve spent the full month in lockdown – in fact, I think we’re coming up to six whole weeks since it started at the end of March and life looks very different now from…
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…
It’s April 2020 and we are deep in the throes of a global pandemic outbreak of coronavirus, also known as Covid-19. I’m writing this to document what life is currently like, the impact this situation is having on us and a few of my thoughts and feelings about it all. This blog was always intended…

The global coronavirus pandemic had already begun to dominate the headlines plus…
This is the very final installment of Project Happy and it’s one of those moments where I’m not really sure what to say. Documenting the little moments of happiness sprinkled throughout my days has got me through some very dark times. It has also helped to make already bright days even lovelier. I wouldn’t be…
