The stuff trap
We work so hard to get the home we want. Our first home, then the next one with the extra bedroom and the baby. Then, a bit more garden and a nicer neighbourhood. We stretch ourselves on the mortgage and go bigger, better, a spare room, renovate, decorate, debate style and colours, textures and space. […]
Renovations and Cashew cheese recipe…
Hello from renovation city ! The ‘little house’ is almost ready to camp in – just need to finish the bathroom floor, add shower, toilet, basin, tiles, door and we have a bathroom, my main requirement after a kitchen.

January clean up
Happy, healthy, balanced New Year to you! After all that indulgent, caution to the wind eating and drinking it is time for a seasonal clean up for us. There are so many bugs including the dreaded super flu going around , we need to boost our immunity, sleep better as well as lifting ourselves from […]
Nurture with nature
There is a so much going on at the moment in the world, in the house, in my head. I have spent a week working out heating wattages, where pipes can go on repointed walls, how things will work in the kitchen to leave space for a sofa in front of the fire. How to […]
Dressing up, a little bit naughty and very nice
Christmas can be a stodgy affair…but it doesn’t have to be! Its like wearing that very expensive little something with bargain basement everything else and the whole ensemble looking super chic – if you aren’t careful it can go the other way; it is a question of thinking, balance and taste.

Lots of people thrive better with meat, it is hard to make a vegan diet work long term without serious learning and dedication to balancing the nutrients we […]
Friday bits and bobs
Just checking in here, it’s been a week of readjustment and joy. Sometimes news knocks us off balance, not because we are not happy about it, just because it means we need to change course a bit, reballance, reappraise, realign. That is a good thing because it actually encompasses way more than the instigating factor, […]
Smash a mash.
Hello, hello! How are you feeling? Have you followed anything here, changed anything? Simply put, nothing will change unless you change something. I know I am repeating myself but please don’t hold back until ‘all the bad stuff has been used up’, ‘after the holiday’, ‘after Christmas’ and all the other delaying tactics our heads […]
Tweak… and twerking would help too!
Reminder Doing this is your choice. Everything is your choice. Everything you eat, drink, think and do will effect how you feel mentally and physically. If you have an illness, an auto-immune problem, lack energy, have hormone imbalances, mood swings, lack of concentration, brain fog, constipation, acne – you fill in the words for you […]
Feel better!
First things first. This post is the first of a few after the huge reaction I received to this Facebook post – “If you are feeling tired, achy, demotivated, tense, cranky, ‘your age!!!’ Sleeping badly, looking and feeling bloated, sad, down, fat, floppy, grumpy, mentally fudgy, slow etc etc and would like to change that, […]
