This month included Mental Health Awareness week. I read the entry on the Mental Health Foundation website by the Chief Executive Mark Rowland. I was struck by the honesty and the power nature has. No wonder it was the focus of Mental Health Awareness Week this year of all years. You may be wondering why [...]
Apple Blossom. Hurrah! We are officially in Spring, and nature has decided it is too. Maybe not the weather, but you can't have everything! Last week, I went for a lovely walk. It was a fabulous way of blowing away the cobwebs. I visited the local bluebell wood and it was gorgeous. The leaves in [...]
The Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is a bird that is often overlooked as it chatters away on TV aerials and rooftops. I thought they would be common as muck right? Turns out I was wrong. The Starling is currently on the 'Red List' in the UK, which means that their numbers are a cause of concern. [...]

Hello everyone and welcome back to another post. It has been a little longer than I expected since I last spoke to you. Today I want to talk to you about one of my favourite sleep and relaxation brands; Feather and Down. I first discovered Feather and Down a couple of years ago in boots. [...]
Over the past few days, as Septembers goes on, I have definitely noticed a change in the air. The nights are drawing in and are getting cooler (the cold air is starting to catch the back of my throat). The world of Instagram has been transformed into squares of russet colours, chunky knitted knee high [...]
