This will be my 13th year documenting December and for a very brief moment, I thought about not doing it. The on-going global pandemic will mean a December without us hosting our annual Christmas Drinks Party (a firm favourite), without The Brainy One and I spending a day Christmas shopping (which in reality means a … Continue reading December Daily 2020 | Foundation Pages
I don't know how it's possible, but this is my 12th year of documenting December Daily ... my favourite annual project.
February 2018 marked my Blogoversary – ten years of blogging.

In 2012 I had a guest post on the sadly now dormant From High in the … Continue reading On This Day

With less than a month until the beginning of December, I'm planning this year's December Daily album. This will my tenth year in a row documenting the run up to Christmas Day, and it's still my favourite project. I toyed with the idea of using a Traveler's Notebook, but in the end settled on an album from Simple … Continue reading December Daily | Foundation Pages

In fact, we've already had a chat about writing to Santa ... I have plenty of … Continue reading 100 Days

The stamp came attached to a Christmas card from the lovely Amy.Day 9: the day we went … Continue reading December Daily: Days 8-14
... for a giveaway. I haven't hosted one for about a year, maybe longer and I'm in the mood to spread a little cheer, as it were. Today, here in London, it is miserably grey and damp; outside looks black and white. Did you guess that November has never been my favourite month? Talk of … Continue reading It’s Time …
