Five Years of Cinnamon Bun Day: Five Years of Hyggering the British Way.

Sometime last month I must have missed the anniversary of the first post on How to Hygge The British Way…. on 15th September 2016, as it happens… and it wasn’t until the reminder popped up on my phone that today was Cinnamon Bun Day that I realised it must be my blog anniversary. Five years ago Cinnamon Bun Day was my Proper Launch Day, the … Continue reading Five Years of Cinnamon Bun Day: Five Years of Hyggering the British Way.

When Everyday Smells Like Your Cosiest Coffee Shop: September Small Things Day 7

I settled down today at the office on the hottest day we’ve had for a while. Not a day sensibly for lighting a candle, and yet I did. I like having a candle in the office, especially on dark and dreek days. It adds a touch of cosiness, of warmth and homeliness. More often than not it’s a scented candle. This summer was a St … Continue reading When Everyday Smells Like Your Cosiest Coffee Shop: September Small Things Day 7

Planning in the Golden Afternoon Light: September Small Things Day 6

Any reader of my blog or follower on social media will know that I need a planner… now more than ever, as my menopause fog sometimes descends and drives me mad at a moment’s notice! As long as I have a notebook or a ringbound planner with a to-do list and a to-be-read list, I’m fine. And after a busy weekend it’s been nice to … Continue reading Planning in the Golden Afternoon Light: September Small Things Day 6

A New Magazine That Really Suits Me… And Sarah Got Some, too: September Small Things Day 4

And so it begins…. My treat for today was a new magazine and a watch of Walking On Sunshine. How have I missed that one before? I have to say, my heart simultaneously skipped and dropped at the sight of a Christmas magazine on the stand. I know come 15th September we’re into double figures… but I also know that Christmas is as far away … Continue reading A New Magazine That Really Suits Me… And Sarah Got Some, too: September Small Things Day 4

This Isn’t The Summer I was Looking For.

It’s the morning after the night before. Italy won the Euro2020 competition (I’m happy for Italy, of course I am. After failing to qualify for the last World Cup, coming back to win the next tournament shows a determination to succeed and a willingness to work for it) but England did so well to make it to the final. We had a young team, and … Continue reading This Isn’t The Summer I was Looking For.

Spring Hygge! A cosy and simple list.

How was your weekend? I had a really simple, relaxed time. I did a lot of the things off my list I set out on Thursday, but not all. Sometimes the point of a list is not getting everything done but being relaxed and able to give yourself permission to play hookey. My dining room windows now have cute grey and white heart decorations… the … Continue reading Spring Hygge! A cosy and simple list.

Artist Dates in the Time of Coronavirus

Artist dates are an important part of the journey in Julia Cameron’s The Artist Way. These weekly excursions to feed your inner artist and give you time to listen, both to your inner child and to the whispers of inspiration, are seen as non-negotiable. I’m a great fan of grabbing time to oneself and creating space to feel free, but 2020 and now 2021 are … Continue reading Artist Dates in the Time of Coronavirus
