We’re running low on a lot of things now; Patience, headspace, jobs we’ve been meaning to do and the feel good factor of finally getting it done. Lots of novelties eroded too. The novelty of walking, online workouts, Joe Wicks, writing on a blackboard, all the online educational “games”, FaceTime, Zoom, House Party, quiet roads, […]
Love in these times. Is there anything else? We find ourselves in times of our lives on reduction. Reduced down to the things we need, fat trimmed from all the excesses of living such a multifaceted life. It all got simmered down in an instant to 3 main things food, healthcare and our loved ones. […]
Week: 4 Offspring I started the week off with: 3 Offspring I finish the week off with: 3 and you can’t prove otherwise Offspring conflicts refereed: Millions. I don’t even care who’s fault anything is anymore, they all behave like drunken cage fighters Alcohol units consumed: I don’t want to talk about it, I will […]
A third week in lockdown. I’m not sure it’s the new normal yet but we’re certainly settling in. Emotions are running a little less high all around. Orlee’s finally stopped asking “where are we going today?” every morning. I’m getting in to the groove of my new role as homeschool teacher and this much more […]
Week 2. Rumours on the social-media-sphere were that this would be a tough one. They were right. The novelty of week 1 was gone. Whatever jittery fear-based adrenaline that was powering me through week 1 has ebbed. The children miss their friends and are much less tolerant of each other. Basically everything is a bit […]
Weddings are up there with Christmas and Halloween for festivities that produce monumental amounts of waste in the form of disposable landfill fodder. From flower foam to dance-floor flip-flops, mini plastic bubbles bottles to all forms of non compostable confetti, dresses, suits, hats and shoes no one will ever wear again… The list is endless. […]
This is the week I spent in two states of being. Sobbing, with no hope of zooming in on any clear specific reason why. Just wave after wave of the enormity and entirety of it. Or in a bizarre state of surrealness experiencing it, repeating over and over to people I saw on the school run, on […]
I cried so hard this day. All day. I am still struggling to process and articulate what exactly was hurting my heart so badly. But this day hurt so brutally. A train ran over my life this day and a thousand and one complacencies and blessings were realised. My children were denied their education and […]

The sun shone bright and wind blew wind on this thoroughly fabulous day in Stoke by Nayland. An area of incredible natural beauty that inspired some of John Constable’s most well known landscape masterpieces. Villages dotted street by street with old tudor beamed and perfectly pastel toned houses. Is it any wonder Kristy and David […]
Here we are enjoying some winter sun in sunny Spain! My Dad recently joined the ranks of the ex-pats in Murcia and bought a place on the Camposol Urbanisation so we jetted out for the October half term to see what the place had to offer. I haven’t been to Spain since I was a […]
