People are struggling. Right now, amongst your family, your friends and even the people you engage with in here, people are struggling. Look for the small things, the tell-tale signs that something isn't quite right... and reach out. Look out for your team. #MentalHealthMatters

In the shed this morning tinkering with a stick I’m making for a relative, and trying to work out how to wrap another ready to post…

Tonight the skies above my friends in Ukraine are full of drones (I’ve just seen the screenshot). I can do nothing but toast their health with our shared appreciation of whiskey in the handmade coffee mugs that they presented to me. My thoughts and hopes are with them.

Good to go…

Making up some multigrain rolls for a picnic later…

Whilst in Prague, my favourite meal was goulash with bread dumplings. Last night I attempted to recreate it and I actually believe that mine was better

I’ve packed my bags to go away again, so Brida is guarding the door

This just popped up in my phone as a memory. It’s never too cold to paddle!

I found a few shrooms in the forest. The one with the leaf caught my eye

Came down and made the dough whilst my coffee was brewing. Showered and re-dressed whilst it was rising. Breakfast and reading as it cooked. Wholemeal bread for lunch…

I’ve folded like a cheap napkin and put the heating on. I usually wait until the calendar has clicked over to November, but the house needs it. Anyone else flicked the switch already?

I found myself near the village of Heytesbury recently. A brilliant little village full of great memories… and one NYE with absolutely no memory!

If I took one of my dogs into a cafe with me and he/she started barking and making a lot of noise, I’d either stop the behaviour or, failing that, we would leave so as not to disturb everyone else. But parents with noisy, unruly kids….

Pretty much every week of my younger childhood - in sun, rain, or snow - I’d be in this forest. Many trees were saplings then. Some weren’t even there. Many are gone.

This mug is only ever used for whiskey…

Yep.

Being a Passenger Princess has its perks… (sound up!)

A bit of a storm last night…
