• Thoughts - A Trip to the Park 15/11/14

  15 November 2014 ( #postaday, #Random Stuff, #selfreflection )

  As the weather becomes shorter even the centre of town becomes more and more beautiful to me. The grey light makes everything more mysterious. Even the local park becomes a dew covered landscape, the mist making everything slightly blurred to the eye....

• Christmas Soaps, Smells and all of that jazz

  05 December 2014 ( #homemade, #Gallery, #postaday, #Random Stuff, #soap, #wintergiftexchange )

  Ironically Christmas doesn't exist in our house, my sister is muslim and my parents are atheists so religion is largely at odds with a traditional Christmas, however due to innate familial traits to conform to tradition it has happened for many years...

  12 January 2017 ( #baking, #cake, #food, #treats, #vegan )
