Juliet, Naked – Book and Film

I've had both the book and the DVD of 'Juliet, Naked' for a while but not got around to entertaining myself with either. I confess, unashamedly, that both caught my attention after watching the trailer where the wonderfully aging Ethan Hawke is cast as the reclusive Tucker Crowe. I have been a fan of Hawke...

Sophie Claire – A Forget-me-not Summer

I heard, via social media, that this book was on offer at the local supermarket. Not heading in that direction myself, I coerced my parents into grabbing it for me. I am so glad I did! I read it in a single day, relaxing and dreaming about the south of France. Front Back Plot -...

Yiruma – Maybe

I'm not a classical music enthusiast, it is never my first choice to listen to. I'm a singer song writer, gravelly voice lover until I die. But on occasion, I do let Amazon Prime music find me some chilled piano to enjoy. This week has been hard, busy and emotional; I needed music to help...

Lorna Cook – Two novels, two timelines, two epic reads.

For me there are two types of books. There are the books you read, the ones merely words on the page from start to finish. Then there are the books that you forget are books, where you stop reading and you start living. Lorna Cook has the talent that immerses you inside her stories, until...

Bullet Journals

I know we are very late to the Bullet Journal party. Actually, I went to the party a couple of times over the last year or two but always left early. I think I love the idea, rather than the actual doing. I'm too distracted and forgetful to keep it up - some might say...

Caroline Taggart – All That Glisters

I'm a lover of quotes and inspirational sayings. They're fun, silly, but also comforting and in some instances butt kicking. I recently bought 'All That Glisters' by Caroline Taggart. It was an impulse absolute bargain buy and I am not disappointed. Hard backed and red covered with gold print, it's beautiful. All That Glisters... And...

@tescofood – 3 Ingredient Flatbread

There were some harsh points of this year when flour disappeared from the world. In a panic of buying it flew from the shelves, people believing that during isolation they would suddenly be able to produce breads, cakes and what not. I was one of the unlucky ones who had to do without, I was...

Me, Myself…

This year I turn the big 4 and 0. COVID-19 put a stop to any plans I had to tick off my 30s bucket list. Not that it was a long list, I do not consider a turn in the decade as a switch flip to old age. My list had random things like take...

Lindsey Kelk – One in a Million

I wanted to share this book with you, 'One in a Million' by @LindseyKelk. I have been lost down a rabbit hole recently of time hopping history themed books and needed something lighter. The theme isn't a new one, but it is a great one. I mean; who doesn't love a bet, a makeover and...

Art – Watercolour Therapy

I'm not an artist, I'm a dabbler. I've never had a style, never painted long enough to decide what works best for me. During the last few months, I've had a little more inclination to sit. I have needed something to bring some peace to the chaos, something just for me and by me. So,...
