Me, my clothes and my body

Bodies are such funny things, they carry us through the world and keep us alive and yet many of us hate them. We hate our own and strangely we have opinions on the bodies of others! Our bodies impact the way people see us, the way we are able to navigate the world, the way...

Adjusting to a new normal

Staying home, no running, no bread, no gym, WFH (working from home), learning to keep myself busy at home and dealing with the anxiety Covid-19 brings. Well that escalated quickly didn’t it. One week we are plodding along washing our hands more, trying not to touch our face and the next week we can’t leave...

The old Bucket list.

The “new” Bucket list is getting longer and longer. I have been crossing things off and adding more on. Everything I cross off, every new experience, leads me to find more things to add and more things to try. I started the list in 2017 and it’s brought me a lot of joy. It’s forced...

Bucket list update: 123. Visit London Borough food market.

My gosh. What a busy, crazy, vibrant place! All the food and drink that you could possibly imagine in one place. Borough market is iconic, the most famous food and drink market in England, it had to feature on my bucket list. The whole place is full of the sounds of cooking, selling and buying....

2019 Monthly Challenge : June

2019 Monthly challenge: April

At the start of the year I gave myself a list of things I wanted to do every single month of 2019. April has been a great month and I’ve managed to cross everything off! This is a bit of a late post because the start of May has been crazy. April brings my birthday,...

Dorset Dog Walks Pt3.

We are always looking for a really good dog walk. Our favourite dog walks are those that end up in a pub or tea rooms ( because why the hell not!). We are always looking for off leash and on leash walks to shake up our walking routine but also to explore more of our...

Bucket list update: 401. Go alcohol free for a month.

So all done , one month without any alcohol. To be honest it was surprisingly easy. I’m not a massive drinker but Christmas is always an over indulgent month so as soon as Boxing Day ended it was time for a break! There were only three occasions where I wanted to have a drink, it...

Why I took a break from keeping track

I’m obsessed with tracking my exercise. My steps, my distance, minutes of activity. Don’t get me wrong I love the feeling of knowing I have done well but, we have been under a lot of stress lately and so busy I have just not done the level of exercise I would normally. And I felt...
