word for the year
Peace - January 2026
My word for the year for 2026 is " Peace ". I found it was a word that was going over and over in my head from around October/November 2025 and realised it was there for a reason. I have fully embraced it so far and we're only one month into the year! My monthly roundups are now going to consist of things I've done that month to bring me peace. Gh…

Charles has his first Christmas night out with his workplace so I took Harry out for a Christmas dinner too so he didn't feel left out.

August 2025
August was lush! And definitely made me realise that maybe Summer is a favourite season of mine. I just feel like there is so much more to do, I have more motivation to want to go out in the evenings and weekends and also really enjoy even the basics of being at home in the garden. Amsterdam! We were super lucky that my mum treated us all to a holiday to Amsterdam. …

Our tradition for Harry's birthday is to go to Jimmy's Farm. However, the weather was awful this year so we have delayed that for later this year. Instead we had a chilled day in on his actual birthday, including visi…
