Most weeks, I try to list a few of the things I’m thankful for. It’s become a process that’s really important to me, helping me to appreciate the good things in my life.

This week, my Small Things are…

*Green tea in my Chinese tea set.

*Listening to Lianne La Havas, especially the coverage of her at Glastonbury.

*The sunshine.

*Dinner at the in-laws’.

*Sitting on the vintage tractor while Andrew worked on it, like he used to do when he was a teenager.

*Fair Trade jewellery – earrings and bracelets, some of which you can buy here, but which I raided from my old market stall stock.

*Chips on the beach with friends.

*Late sunsets.

*Eating out with friends.

*Spotting orchids and butterflies at an old chalk quarry, where my family and I have been walking since we were tiny.
