Wintering

This year I have started the year in a much more gentle way. Being a fan of planners and planning I have loved spending time this month dreaming and planning easing slowly into starting work on my goals.

I wanted to be more in tune with mother nature. As trees are bare and animals are hibernating I felt compelled this year to start the year slowly and mindfully.

Don't get me wrong I have excitedly written goals down but instead of jumping straight in and overwhelming myself I have been much kinder to myself removing perfectionism and focusing on steps that would make me feel the most fulfilled.

I've spent time walking Tilly around the the surrounding villages ,gathering inspiration and dreaming of beautiful things I'd love to design and conecting with like minded kindered spirits.

I have a love of English country cottages which I am lucky enough to be surrounded by in rural Chehire. they give a cosy inviting feel, perhaps their appeal being the lifestyle they represent maybe of simpler times gone by.

I do tend to feel the effects of SAD so lots of rest, cosy fires, hot drinks and inspiring homely books always help lift my spirit. Tilly is always happy to snuggle on the sofa on blustery evenings too.

I hope you are finding time to snuggle rest read and get inspired or just simply be on these chilly January days.

Much love Sally B xx
