It's been a creative few weeks and I've made a good start into recording 2020 - the year when we mostly stayed at home. 😦 The plan of 12 in 20 looks like it will work well and I'll continue the theme throughout 2021. I used two photos, a tag, a few simple embellishments and … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2021 | 12 in 20 #1
Expect the unexpected and do your best to embrace the bumps in the road. My go to method of accepting what I can't change is to switch off the news and social media, and disappear in to Netflix for an hour or so. A large mug of tea, a chocolate bar and Tilly curled up … Continue reading 10 Things Learned From 2020
Week 51: Walks with Tilly are the highlight of my day. I went for my first-ever flu jab. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were spent quietly at home. Strictly, a new jigsaw and a glass of bubbly.

I haven’t solved the dilemma of scrapbook storage, so I’m continuing with my hunt for a scrapbooking solution that ticks all the boxes. And as with blogging, I’ve no plans to stop.

Last Saturday, our closest friends invited us to join them in a socially-distanced visit to the Cotswold Reindeer Herd. It's not a huge setup, but it was worth an hour or so of our time. All the reindeer are penned, but visitors are allowed to feed them delicious lichen and pat them. I was expecting … Continue reading The Cotswold Reindeer Herd
