Back to school – the ABCs of the leap day
happy leap day There’s an extra day to play with this year as 2024 is a leap year. So we will have the pleasure of the 29th February for the first time again in four years. (Not sure I was that pleased to have an extra day in the last leap year of 2020 though!)...
Top Autumn 2024 colours from Pantone®
Crazy weather I'm beginning to think that the warmer weather of last week was 'false spring' and led me in to a false sense of warmer months being imminent. Because this week, we are back to the erratic weather including rain, floods, high winds and even more frosty...
Thank you, January!
wish it had been longer I feel a bit cheated out of the whole of this month. With the children going back to school later than usual I lost one and a half weeks at the beginning of the month before I could even hit the ground running. I heard lots of people saying...

trends through the decades I love looking back through the decades at trends and events (even the recent past) which can provide such inspiration and insight. Previously, I looked at real weddings over the years in my 'weddings through the decades' series on my...
Happy 2024!

Shortages At the time of writing, some vegetables are being rationed at some supermarkets due to poor weather in the countries where the produce is grown. We just for granted that whatever the season and time of year, that we can have any type of possible fruit or...
Crepuscula is my word of the moment
Crepuscular I’m wondering whether I’m a crepuscular animal - more active at dawn and dusk. Compared with a nocturnal animal (active at night) or diurnal (active during the day). Crepuscular creatures like rabbits, deer, mice, rats, otters, many song birds, mosquitoes,...

Pantone® Colour of the Year 2023 December is a super busy month in our household, with all the obvious build up to Christmas and all that entails (like several Christmas concerts today) but it is also birthday for two of my children! In amongst all that craziness, is...
