  • Monthly Roundup – August.

    Monthly Roundup – August.

    Whilst there’s been many good moments and fun days out in August, for the most part it was led by waves of uncertainty, self-doubt and unwanted recurring thoughts. Just like the seasons, my headspace and mood can fluctuate too; so I’ve been really trying to listen, adapt and redirect my mind where possible. It’s therefore…

  • Monthly Roundup – July.

    Monthly Roundup – July.

    July has been the month I finally found my feet and (some) direction. I’ve refocused my social media accounts, planned weeks of content, and found the motivation to continue with larger projects. I’ve made positive steps to aid my mental health journey, as well as my writing one; and somehow found the courage to ask…

  • Monthly Roundup – June.

    Monthly Roundup – June.

    I feel I lived June in a somewhat ‘holiday mode’. We battled the heat; calling for nothing more than to keep cool in any way we could (fans really did a lot of the heavy lifting!) We took to the road on a few trips up and down the country. Having been up to Cumbria…

We took advantage of the beautiful weather at a local fayre soaking up the sun in deckchairs with live music and food stalls (even having a ride on the…

  • Monthly Roundup – March.

    Monthly Roundup – March.

    March was a birthday month which meant we were treated to cake – two in fact! It was also a month filled with plenty of nature, animals, and everyday joy. We spent a week up in Cumbria, explored some new trails, met up with long distance friends and caught up with family. We saw the…

  • Monthly Roundup – February.

    Monthly Roundup – February.

    Despite being the shortest month, February was still a plentiful time to dive into hobbies and head out for adventures. With the weather finally brightening up a little, we started to see those short winter days fade away as we brought out the hiking boots, embraced the outdoors, and ventured on a couple of getaways.…

    Monthly Roundup – January.

    Welcome to the first of this monthly feature – a roundup of activities, days-out, events and media that have been particularly memorable in the month of January. If you’ve read my previous posts, it will come as no surprise that I’ve had a little more spare-time to enjoy and fill my days with. If, instead,…
