Enjoying a festive tradition of going away for the weekend to see the Christmas markets with one of my closest friends. This year was York. 🎄🎄🎄

I do enjoy the run-up to Christmas, and one way to get me into the Christmas spirit is to put up the Christmas tree with Christmas music playing the background.

This weekend I have been to not one, but two light trails: Aglow at Auckland Palace in Bishop Auckland and Nightfall at Stewart Park in Middlesbrough.
Both were fabulous 🤩

I had a bit of JOMO on Friday night – the Joy of Missing Out.
Husband: out of the evening
Me: Feet up, TV on, pizza and a glass of prosecco.
Lovely!
The picture is not of me – I was far too busy chilling out to think about drawing faces on my feet!

Last lake swim of the year – it was very, very cold! 🥶 🥶 🥶
Soon recovered after a full Sunday dinner at Ellerton Lakeside Café 😀

I have done several lovely things this week, but unfortunately, they have been overshadowed by lots of small stressors, so I’m left feeling less than recharged. It made me think of this post I wrote last year 👇

I completed a business course run by Enterprise Made Simple (which was great 😊). The experience was a real recharge. Immersing myself in such varied perspectives reminded me how refreshing it is to step away from the familiar.

Recharging with true crime – I know, it’s a bit weird!
Killer show, literally.

I often focus on what I can do outside of work/my business to recharge, forgetting that I can also do this while working. I joined a course last week and I’m already seeing some of the benefits outlined below, and I’m only two days in!

My holiday made me think about this. Although I did very little and slept well, I still came back tired, so maybe I wasn't getting enough of each type of rest.

Holidays 😍
Not quite the holiday we had in mind, as my husband has been unwell (although he is getting better now). However, the ‘forced stop’ has been exactly what I needed, even if I didn’t realise it at the time.
Here is the view from our cabin 👇

Shinrin-yoku at Kiplin Hall 😊
The practice of forest bathing originated in Japan in the 1980s as part of a national health programme. It encourages you to slow down, observe the small details of nature, and be fully present.

Swimming at Lake Ellerton, with a bacon sandwich and cake to follow at Ellerton Lakeside Café. What a gorgeous day with one of my favourite people 🏊♀️ 🍰 ☕ 😍

This post isn’t about how I’ve been adding to my week to recharge; instead, it’s about how I have been looking at what I can remove, so when I am doing nice things, I’m not worrying about my to-do list. I have been building a subtraction habit.

Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, but 5 hedgehogs in our garden.
There were actually six, but one was camera shy…
😍🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔😍
I just feel so happy when I see them.

Murder mystery night at Ormesby Hall filled with drama, intrigue, and a plot twist I still don’t understand 🤣 🔎 😀
