Hello lovelies. I'm popping in on my 46 birthday to tell you that I'm going to be taking a break from my blog and these squares as I am feeling incredibly exhausted and overwhelmed. My usual coping strategy is to simplify and this time that means that I need to switch off and wade through all the thoughts, emotions, worries, ideas and choices that are swirling around in my head. There is so much going on inside me and in my life and my health is a little shaky both mentally and physically. And perhaps I need to give myself time to write and create for the sheer joy of it, without the constant pressure I put on myself to 'grow my business, make money, post a pic or else'! Goodness knows we need a second income but not at the expense of my well being. So here's to brighter and clearer days ahead. Big love to you beautiful lot, Lu xxxxxx . . . #memyselfandportrait

Hello lovelies! I've spent the last 2 days chilling with my boy, who has been home after a fabulous school journey to Paris no less! In between exams, my big girl has been hanging out with us too. Work has taken a back seat as it always does when the kids and their lives need my attention (which is most of the time if I'm honest). I sometimes give myself a hard time about the slow pace of progress in my business, but I'm reminding myself today of how much else has been going on in my life practically and emotionally and of the importance of these years when my kids are still so young. Today, I do have a little time to do a spot of writing. Have a good day! 🌸🌸🌸 . . . #seasonalliving_spring #seasonalliving_summer #myseasonalstory #ihavethisthingwithivywalls #rusticliving #itsthesimplethings #thesimplethings #worklifebalance #thisprettyengland #englishcountryside #dunstervillage #dunstercastle #nationaltrust #mindfulmaker #kindnessandlove

Some pretties past their 'best' for you this Monday morning. These hydrangea flowers were already blooming on the plant when my Mum bought it back in April, but there are lots of buds growing in their place now. The garden seems full of shoots and buds just waiting for the warmer weather and I'm feeling full of excitement for the Summer ahead! In the meantime, I've got lots to be getting on with! Have a fab Monday lovelies 🌸🌸🌸 . . . #seasonalliving_spring #seasonalliving_summer #savourtheseasonalshift #embracingtheseasonsathome #mycitygarden #gardenersworld #simplystyledflowers #floralfeel #underthefloralspell #inspiredbynature_ #inspiredbypetals #myseasonalstory #intentionalseasons #botanicaldreams #natureinlondon

This time last week we were pottering about in this lovely village! This weekend we have a gentle one planned. We'll be staying close to home as my big girl is still revising - just one more week left! And we'll be missing my boy who is on his year 6 school journey. Have a good one lovelies, whatever you are up to! 🌸🌸🌸 . . . #beautifulsomerset #dunstervillage #seasonalliving_spring #seasonalliving_summer #myseasonalstory #intentionalseasons #savourtheseasonalshift #englishcountryside #countrysidelove #countrysidedreams #thisprettyengland

When my Spring Shawl didn't quite turn out how I'd envisaged it, some familiar panicky feelings and negative thoughts started to bubble up. I put it down and let it sit for a while. When I picked it back up again, I managed to rethink it, turning my shawl into a cardy of sorts and in doing so I changed the story. I've written a post all about it, 'Resilience and My Knitted Shawl' and you can find it on my blog via the link in my profile. Perhaps you might relate to some of what I've written about. Have a fab Friday lovelies! .
