So, in conjunction with upcoming excitements, changes and plans that are in place, I thought it was about time to install a new feature – “Fearless Friday” – a fun, exhilarating and testing weekly assignment designed to push ourselves, our fears, and our (recovery) goals a little further. To better ourselves and our lives (and…
When *It fights, and *You fight back.
So, hard didn’t ever mean impossible, right? Right. And since failure only existed when we stopped trying, well, we arent going to stop trying. Things get tough, period, and I think I’m finally learning to deal. Turning the focus away from my-now-fitted-jeans and onto other, more productive things has been refreshing. Im dreaming and planning ahead for Autumn – Designing…
Colouring The Seasons.
(Tuna salad with vegonaise) (Massive fruit haul – Figs are the sole reason I fall in love with Autumn each year.)Autumn and Winter have never been my most favourite of months. There have been too many years of remembering the deep cold in the pit of my bones. Too many years of feeling the cold, just feeling it…

Infinity
So, life doesn’t always go as planned, and I guess the joy of uncertainty is what makes life so enthralling and exciting, but not always so. Not when disappointment sits as the very base of your meaning, or, in this case, takes it away. But Im always in search of answers, in one way or…
Sea Chant
These last two weeks have smelt, tasted and felt like freedom. I knew, last Monday, when we drove past the South Downs, hitting the coast road after a two hundred and fifty mile journey, that everything was as it should be, and that (finally) I was home. Over the course of a week, we have…
Watching, Waiting.
Whilst we will spend the next few weeks mulling over our move, I’m mindful of enjoying the present, too. Change is inspiring but there’s also a lot to be said for a merino wool cardigan and a steaming bowl of Maca and honey oats with fresh figs and cinnamon. Creature comforts are one of life’s…
