I've been on the edge of my seat for weeks waiting to find out what primary school Orla will be going to - I feel so lucky that we got our first choice and have been sending good vibes to all the other parents up and down the country who have also been anxiously waiting too. But then it hit me, Orla is going to school. No more playgroups, no more nursery. It's so bittersweet. I would love to hear from parents who have been through this already - do you have any tips for managing the transition? What we're the things you missed once your little one started school?
Viking, North Utsire, South Utsire, Shanon, Rockall, Malin... the shipping forecast takes me back to cosy childhood afternoons playing by myself at home with the smell of brasso and freshly mopped wooden floors as a backdrop. These days I'm not patient enough to wait for it to come on the radio so I seek it out on YouTube when I need to fill my mind with comforting, peaceful thoughts - but also feel connected to the outside world. I love how it has inspired so much wonderful writing and how many of us cherish it for our own intangible reasons. This photo was inspired by the poem 'Prayer' by Carol Ann Duffy which evocatively ends: 'Darkness outside. Inside, the radio's prayer - Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finisterre.' I've shared the rest of the poem (and some BTS - including the real whereabouts of this beautiful sea view!) over on stories. #whpawaywego
Do you ever take an Instagram break by accident? I've spent the last few weeks dealing with non stop high temperatures all round as well as the sudden passing away of a beloved colleague. It's left me feeling like I've had the rug pulled from under me and I've just wanted to hide away and watch telly for a few weeks but I'm starting to work my way back to feeling myself again and have really missed keeping up with everyone. This is a very long winded way of saying Hi 👋 I hope you're staying warm and dry and safe ❤️
I'm so enjoying getting back into our garden now that the days are getting brighter! It took me the whole of last year to get to grips with the weeds and huge overgrown shrubs so now it's like a blank canvas and I'm enjoying learning about organic gardening and planning what to plant. I treated us to these snowdrops the other week - I'm going to plant them in a pot in the hopes that they settle in and multiply. Don't you just love this time of year when we're standing right on the edge of Spring? 🌱
My feed was supposed to be full of beautiful butterflies this week after a visit to @rhswisley on Sunday but it turns out that a tropical glasshouse in the company of a three and a half year old (plus a baby strapped to my chest) wasn't the optimum environment in which to take great photos 🤷‍♀️ You win some you lose some eh? So, it's back to coffee and blankets for now. I hope you're staying cosy this week too ✨
I'm sharing some wintery photos and musings on my creative plans for 2018 over on the blog - it's ok to still be making plans 'for the year ahead' in February right? 😬 Link in profile ✨#gloomandglow
Brrrrr ❄️ Just as I though that spring was in the air, bam! I had to de-ice the car this morning. Orla took ownership of this hot water bottle the second I finished photographing it so I guess I'll have to make another one. You can sew one too using my tutorial which you'll find at the link in my profile! 👆😄 #gloomandglow
Making things makes me smile 😊 Having said that, when I'm working on a DIY or dressmaking project it can feel like I spend half my time problem solving which is more furrowed-brow than smile inducing but experimenting and playing with materials - like drawing for drawings sake, is always uplifting and something I definitely need more of in 2018✨ #whpsmile
We had a light (and very wet) dusting of snow this morning ❄️ After watching through the window for a few minutes Orla and I pulled on warm clothes and headed outside. Orla was so excited about making a huge snowman 😬💔 but was happy enough with the muddy puddles we found 😅 Sharing some pics from our walk over on stories. Did you have any snow today? #whpwindows #gloomandglow
