learning that it's ok to dream big, or even medium sized.

Dare to dream

Why it's ok to indulge your creativity and not feel guilty

a mid year pause, slow down and enjoy the roses

The beautiful month of June

Finally I found a way to answer the question "and what do you do?"

Hello and thank you so much for dropping by

  • Somewhere along the way I became a creature of habit. My weekday early mornings follow the same routine. Week in week out. . Get up, let dogs out, make coffee and sit in bed scrolling, drinking coffee, chatting with dogs (yes really) and hollering periodically at teen to get up. . Today I’ve already been to town and back before 7am. The dogs and I are feeling utterly confused. Who knows where the day will take us now! ... . . . #littlestoriesofmine #dahliasfordays #dahlialove #floralstories #mybloominglens #still_life_perfection #justbefloral #flowersandotherstories #realflowersoftheseason #pocketsofmyhome #still_life_gallery #thestilllifecollective #styleonstillness #itsastill_life #allthebeautifulthings
  • On the one hand I worry that it might be irresponsible of me not to listen to the news. . But on the other hand, I’m so fed up waking up to the same old news day after day. . Anyone else feeling weary of all the politicking? . So here is my news. September has been the most beautiful of months and yesterday I stopped to take a picture if the shadows dancing on the wall. . Tell me your news 😊 . . . . . #aconsideredhome #cornersofmyworld #smallmomentsofcalm #thesimpleeveryday #mystoryoflight #inasoftlight #shadowsandlight #awakethelight #seeing_the_ordinary #beautyofstillmoments #inpraiseofshadows #softtones_perfection #noticethelittlethings #myquietbeauty #the_gentle_manifesto #pocketsofmyhome #ofsimplematters #athoughtfulpause
  • My friend @elizabethfell has coined the phrase “kerfuffle time” - the percentage of time to be included in any journey calculation, thus allowing for ...well... kerfuffle. It can be as high 25%. . It would seem my dahlias built in some kerfuffle time but they have are finally reaching their collective crescendo of splendour. . Proof of course, that the best things in life are worth waiting for. . . . . . . #botanicalpickmeup #flowersandotherstories #mybloominglens #dahliadays #fromgardentovase #justbefloral #91magazine_floral #faffingwithflowers #wipsandblooms #lifelivedbeautifully #beautyisinthedetails #simplicityinstilllife #elevatetheeveryday #eleganceintheeveryday #awhisperedbeauty #makelight
  • I fear too many of my Instagram captions talk about the weather. So I’m going to resist the urge to mention the weather today. . But I’m finding it very hard to say nothing. . So I’ll just let you know I’m wearing wellies ☔️and this picture was not taken today (because the lens would have got all misted up) #nottalkingabouttheweather . . . . . . #allabouttheweather #creativelives #alifeofintention #gowildlyandslow #thesincereststoryteller #aprettyishkindof_wilderness #lovelifeoutdoors #theslowcollective #thisismyengland #thewildnesstonic #live_simple #athoughtfulpause
  • And just like that it feels the year has turned. I can mark the seasons out by the way the light hits the rooms of my house. Suddenly I find myself lighting candles a little earlier, pulling the curtains back wider and trying to remember what sweaters I own and I where did I put them? . . . . . #thatvelvetfeeling #awhisperedbeauty #everydayelegance #noticethelittlethings #chasinglight #calmversation #theslowcollective #smallmomentsofcalm #calm_collected #simplicityinstilllife #aconsideredhome #ofquietmoments #heitermoments #thesimpleeveryday #slowsimpleseasonal #savourtheseasonalshift
