We’ve all got quite used to our four walls and g We’ve all got quite used to our four walls and gardens over the last 18 months haven’t we? I’ve had a strange love/hate relationship with it that I wasn’t sure how to break out of. But this weekend we’ve dipped our toe in ‘normal’ not once, but twice! A wedding celebration last night (I wore heels, a dress and everything 💃🏻) then this morning we went back to church for the first time since March 2020. It felt good. Have you dipped your toe in this week? How has it felt? #lifeafterlockdown #anewnormal #beachgarden #gardendesign #summergarden
The first dahlias from my very own cut flower gard The first dahlias from my very own cut flower garden. This was a dream that I first had during lockdown no. 1 and it has actually become a reality! Thank you to @swancottageflowers for the seeds/tubers and the inspiration. I’ve also devoured advice from @oldhouseintheshires and @anya_thegarden_fairy. This has been such a satisfying journey that has brought much joy during an otherwise very difficult year. Will I do it again next year? The jury is still out because to do it properly, I think I would need a greenhouse and permission to dig up part of the lawn 😬. For now, I’m happy with just a few flowers that are not too time-consuming to look after. What joy this little vase of loveliness brings 🌸🌿 #lovemesomefreshflowers #dahliasofinstagram #101thingsthatmakemesmile #cutflowergarden #lockdownhobbies
It’s been a week of Bonnie and quite frankly, I’m knackered 🥺 but I *think* we’ve finally cracked the night time howling. Bonnie was a very spontaneous decision which is most unlike me (any enneagram 1s in the house? 🙌🏻) and definitely not something I would normally advise where pets are concerned, but she is absolutely adorable 🥰 and we are all smitten. Before you say it, yes I might be having a midlife crisis as my youngest daughter is about to head off to uni, but I figure it’s better than doing a Shirley Valentine! PS A puppy is much easier with teenagers, who are currently sticking to their promise of taking it in turns on Bonnie Watch. I’ll keep you posted! #eatsleeppooprepeat #minidachshund #minidoxie #doxiesofinstagram #midlifecrisis
Thankful for a thoroughly relaxing 48 hours in The Thankful for a thoroughly relaxing 48 hours in The Cotswolds with my partner in crime. Time away together is something we have prioritised ever since having children 21 years ago. Life has sometimes felt too difficult to make it happen, but we’ve always found a way, and never once regretted it. Marriage can be hard work, as can life, we have to find the small things that remind us it’s all worthwhile 🥰. This year The Cotswolds...next year, who knows?! #covidbegone #cowleymanor #cotswoldsuk
