“The stories we love best do live in us forever, so whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home” ~ JK Rowling It’s rumoured that there are people in this world who haven’t read Harry Potter (or even seen the films).  I can’t…

Little Loves: June 2018

June has been an absolutely beautiful month – full of sunshine and hot weather and fun adventures.  We’re very much on the countdown towards the summer holidays now with just three weeks of school left before the six week break.  We’re all looking forward to having no fixed schedule; going on day trips; enjoying slow,…

Little Loves: May 2018

May has been the most gorgeous month!  It’s my favourite month of the year (along with September).  With two bank holidays, half term, copious amounts of beautiful blossom bursting into bloom and two family birthdays to celebrate, how can it not be?  And this year it has been full to the brim of the most…

40 Things Before I’m 40: Annual Update (2018)

On my birthday two years ago I posted a list of 40 things I want to do, achieve and experience before I turn 40 years old in 2023. I’d originally started the list when I turned thirty but I hadn’t launched my blog at that point so it existed solely in the relative privacy of…

Dad: 3 Years

I’ve been wrestling with writing this post for six weeks now.  Six weeks ago, on 7th February 2018, it was the third anniversary of my Dad’s death.  As is natural, I thought about Dad a lot around that date, and felt a whole mixture of feelings that I’m only just beginning to untangle, which is…

Little Loves: February 2018

Considering that February is the shortest month as well as being my least favourite month of the year, we’ve certainly packed in plenty of lovely things over the last four weeks.  I normally find February difficult – partly because of the grey dreariness of the last dregs of winter but mainly because it’s the anniversary…

Little Loves: January 2018

I always find January to be a bit of a contradictory month.  In some ways I feel sad that the joy of the Christmas festivities is over and yet another part of me can’t wait to get the decorations down, get back to normality (for a little while anyway) and embrace the slower pace.  Likewise,…
