Because it’s not the big goals and successes in life that bring true happiness, but the little joys that you choose to notice each day…
I often struggle with February, but this one went very quickly and I felt quite content! The result of just the right work/life balance perhaps, and seeing some friends, and making the most of the few sunny days. Here’s what I got up to:
Planning ahead.

Steak and mushroom pasta for one. With mustard and cream. Yum!

Alder tree. Catkins and cones.

Walking.

Visited a nature reserve on a perfect winter day.

Impressive silver birch.

Bottoms up.

That light!

Hazel catkins.

Euphorbia about to flower in the garden.

Beautiful bud.

End of day.

Frosty scenes.

Robin’s pincushion.

Frosty moss.

I know it might just look like a rotten grub-filled conker to you, but I’m fascinated. If I put conkers in all my pots, will the vine weevil grubs leave my plants alone…?

Another beautiful moss-forest.

Pretty much the perfect love-day card.

First crocuses spotted on a verge near the house.

Date night! Beer and chicken wings before some live music.

Oh wow.

Beer with friends and a cosy fireplace.

I liked their glasses. And their plant.

Good read for writers. (Biscuit crumbs writer’s own.)

Beautiful evening sky.
