I finally got around to putting the finishing touches on our autumn nature table – or should I say autumn windowsill. I should just say at this point that a nature table does not have to be a whole table. There are so many lovley ideas for spaces of all types. This year we have …
Its pumpkin season! Each year we love to take a trip out to our local pick-your-own and choose some lovely pumpkins to decorate our front door and our deck for the autumn. If, for some reason, we don’t make it to a pick-your-own then we make sure to pop a few pumpkins into the weekly …
October – this is when I think the season of autumn is best appreciated! Deciduous trees are ablaze and leaves are gently falling to the ground. Thoughts of winter are still a month away and there is so much to celebrate! Last year, our October had some pretty amazing days! So although today the winds …
September marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Towards the end of the month the leaves of the deciduous trees will begin to change, cloaking nature in rich hues of golds, reds, russets and browns.

I thought it would be nice to share my monthly seasonal home plans. I hope that they will be …
How exciting to wake up to a new month, a new season and a feast day! Today is St.Davids Day, the patron saint of Wales. I think I might make potato and leek soup for lunch and a daffodil cake if I have time – Tuesday’s are busy in my home so I’m not sure …
Today is Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. I always like to have a little Lenten path, a calendar of sorts to follow in our home. It helps to see how far we have to go and how far we have come. It’s a sort of advent calendar but for Lent. In the past …
Hello everyone! It’s a lovely bright shiny day hereafter our snowstorms of yesterday. Unfortunately, we did not make our art lesson as the passes over the Peaks are both still closed. So instead we went on a lovely snow nature walk and made some window stars which look amazing against the snowy backdrop! I use …
the 5th of November. Of gunpowder, treason and plot. This week-end has seen the skies over Chesterfield alight with fireworks. Guy Fawkes or Bonfire night is quite a big deal here in England and it seems that everyone revels in the opportunity for a bit of fun. We let off our own fireworks on Saturday …
