#OnThisDay 7th December 2020. Trying on bridesmaid’s dresses for my eldest’s wedding the following summer. Two of the girls weren’t able to be there, and joined in by zoom. 🙂

#OnThisDay 6th December 2023. Salthouse Marshes on the North Norfolk Coast. Acres of reed beds, salt and freshwater pools, Brant geese, teal and mute swans. I was there with Aldo and not another person in sight. Bliss!

#OnThisDay 4th December 2012 We loved this car at the time. It was brilliant in some ways, we could drive it anywhere, it pulled the trailer, carted muddy dogs and feral kids around. But it was noisy, uncomfortable, hot, cold, gas guzzling, heavy. Got an EV now.🤣

Hello #GardensHour. I haven’t taken any photos yet this December. So here’s one of last year’s Christmas wreath made from bits from the garden. Lots of work here all winter when the soil is dry enough. The whole garden is having a revamp. 🙂

#OnThisDay 1st December 2018, Boot room storage made by my talented husband for practically nothing using reclaimed floorboards. It’s still going strong although we have added cupboards with doors so we have somewhere to store all the kids’ cricket bags.

#OnThisDay today! I had not a single photo in my collection which was taken on 27th November, so I just took one of Aldo giving Maggie some lovely kisses. Maggie is less than impressed.

Breathe in to a slow count of 4, hold for a slow 4, out for slow 4 and hold for slow 4 and repeat. Sorry if this is stuff you already know but it helps me. Or here is my emotional support dog, Ivy. You can do it. Xxx

I did a bit of work in the garden today to get away from the news and took these pictures of a spindle bush which was hidden in a load of undergrowth and the masses of berries on the cotoneaster this year. Blue sky and sun too!

That’s such a lovely painting. Dreaming of summer seaside days and ☀️. I’m also late up due to a migraine which is thankfully subsiding. Someone is saying “Come on, this laying in bed is really unacceptable.”

#OnThisDay 23rd November 2017 my youngest daughter, then aged 10, donated her beautiful long hair to @littleprincesses.bsky.social to make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment or other conditions. She also asked for donations to them rather than birthday presents.😊😍🤩

Sorry you’re feeling stressed out. Look at my lovely cricket blanket on my bed. It doesn’t match my decor but I don’t care. It is snug and warm and helps to banish the winter blues.

Me again in India, #OnThisDay 20th November 2001. Palolem beach I think, outside our luxurious accommodation. It was heavenly. 🌴🇮🇳🪷🕉️☀️
