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…
After a super quiet February, March was full of lovely things, yet I have to admit I feel like my brain is still in winter. I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately to how much I… well… shut myself away in my head with my thoughts, sometimes, and fail to be as present as perhaps would be good for me and my life. But spring is a time of transition, and this new awareness will lead to new intentions… In the meantime though, here’s what I’ve been up to.
A favourite pub in Gloucester. Dark mild and live music.
Water under the bridge.
Perfect day for a walk.
We drank some good beer here before a wander round the docks in the sun.
Impressed by this living wall!
Gloucester cathedral.
Golden hour.
Full moon and aeroplane.
Cheltenham postboxes. We did a treasure trail here!
Cool story bro.
There’s a LOT of mistletoe in Cheltenham!
Brilliant steak and waffle fries at Gloucester docks.
Awesome craft beer at the Drunken Duck.
Stunning Gloucester cathedral.
Foggy mornings.
Watched long-tailed tits making this nest. Lichen on the outside, feathers and moss on the inside.
Garden camellias. (Not mine.)
Seedlings! These are subergines, chillies, and bell peppers.
Hairy-footed flower bees.
Beautiful blossom.
Hot chocolate after a cold day outdoors.
Just a kitten hanging out in a vape shop.
My dracaena cuttings are developing roots…
The biggest red pepper in the world… ever.
Was rather pleased with my Mothers day lunch for the fam: a delicious Italian-themed buffet.
Brisket date!
Spooky.
Breakfast date!
I whizzed last year’s dried chillies in the blender. Next time, I’ll wear a mask…
Strange dark stripe in the clouds… It’s the shadow of a contrail!
Wes Anderson: the Archives, at the Design Museum. Highly recommended!
Lobster smashburger thank you please.
Oh hai.
Camden Town Brewery tour! The best was the Dark Czech Pilsner though…
Another brilliant living wall!
Leaf time for trees.
My second favourite bee. (Fave of the day!)
