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. […]
Easy, delicious, vegan recipes that are a dream to make and eat.

To thrive on a plant based diet, eat well and feel satisfied, especially if we have busy lives, we need to be able to make delicious, vegan meals quickly and easily and that means having ingredients and recipes at the ready. Today I made fast and easy vegetable fritters with a herby sauce. This recipe […]
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 […]
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, […]
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.

Doing or going to do – that is the question.
Lets have a word about procrastination, avoidance, distancing. A client came to me about ‘all the things he has to do, and that he was not succeeding or getting anywhere’. He felt between a rock and a hard place, nothing was working. We spent a lot of time talking and have spoken many times before […]
Getting juicy!
Day three of a juice cleanse and I feel oddly fine. No detox symptoms to date other than tiredness and a bit of a light head late on day 1 and part of day 2 – I am not remotely convinced it is because I am so pure and clean. No complaints from me though. […]
Charlie Brown: “Some day we all will die” Snoopy: “True, but on other days we will not “
Charlie Brown; “Some day we all will die” Snoopy; “True, but on other days we will not ” Let’s make the best of our days, our loves and our lives. Some day we die, the other days we don’t and those days we need to enjoy the living not worrying about dying. If you are […]
Packed lunch for Aimee!
My lovely daughter asked for some tips for easy, tasty, fast and cheap packed lunches. Tired of the, and by the, sandwiches, wraps, even more supposedly healthy options available within easy reach of where she works in Paris she needed to get back on top of this. Everyone needs to enjoy a meal and function […]
