This week I’ve been fighting the effects of winter and illness! Here are some of my little tactics for feeling better… Summer Dreams: I am longing for summer now, and whiled away a rainy hour inside by creating a ‘Summer’ Board on Pinterest.

Where I reflect on the good things in the past week
Small Things
Life is such a gift! It is full of highs and lows, but in the day to day it is often the little things that keep us smiling. That is what my ‘Small Things’ posts are all about – creating lists of the cheery bits and pieces that have made my life good in the…
Small Things
This week, there have been one or two ‘big things’ making me happy! We’ve been celebrating two anniversaries this weekend with our family in beautiful North Devon. My Grandparents have been married for 55 years, and my parents for 30 years, and both are such good examples of the partnership that marriage can be. It…
Small Things
This is only my second post of the new year – the plunge back into work has very much thrown me this year, after my lovely week away in Devon. For those others who have had a hard first week back for whatever reason, I’m praying that you get some moments of peace and a…

A small thing called Christmas has slightly obscured this week’s ‘small things’, but here they are anyway! (In case you haven’t read my small things posts before, they are weekly lists of the little happy-making happenings in my day-to-day life. Hope you enjoy them 🙂 ) *Celebrating a friend’s birthday *Seeing my Grandma, brother and…
This week’s ‘Small Things’
This week’s ‘Small Things’ post comprises a thank you list… Thank you for… *Cocktails in a Teapot* Meeting for cocktails on a Monday night is a very civilised, relaxing affair. A relatively uncrowded bar; a friendly, unburdened ‘moment’ before the demands of the week. We started our Monday evening at All Bar One in Leicester…

My ‘Small Things’ posts are about those little things that have brightened my week 🙂 This week, I’ve been: Listening to: Melaena Cadiz, who I heard about through Tomboy Style. Amazing voice! Watching: Monsters University – sooo funny 🙂 Also, a little randomly, I caught a programme on brown bears in Alaska. There was stunning…
Small Things
I realised this week that I’ve inadvertently* copied someone with my Small Things lists of verbs. Turns out Tania at Joy Felicity Jane has been doing the verb lists for ages! But as her blog is so lovely, and Freya and Rosie at my two favourite blogs have also done verb lists recently, I figure…
Small Things :-)
In busy weeks, it can be easy to miss the ‘small things’ that cheer us up – so it’s great to have the opportunity to think back and record them here! * There being fewer leaves on the trees has one advantage – you can spot all the birds better 🙂 I’ve been enjoying watching…
Small Things
My ‘Small Things’ posts are about the little things that have made me smile during the week. This week, I’ve been: Listening to: Robbie Williams’ Swing When You’re Winning – I’m waiting for his next Swing album which is out this month! I really like the orchestral accompaniment to I Will Talk and Hollywood will Listen,…
A few links for you to enjoy…
This week has been half term. Which means that although I’ve not been officially off work, I have done a lot of what I call ‘pottering’ (apologies there for the ‘what I call’ Miranda moment!). So… filing, browsing the Internet, housework, browsing the Internet, sorting, browsing the Internet, reading, admin, eating and drinking have very…
