It never gets exactly cold here, but it does become chilly enough to make a warm jumper, slippers and a fire seem like a great idea. So does long days spent on the beach, wandering markets or riding bikes outside.

Plastic Free July: take three
I blame Lauren Singer. It was winter 2015 and her name and the zero waste movement had crossed my path during a hunt for a new blog to read. I was intrigued, if a little cynical. "How can someone be 'zero waste'?" I thought the first time I clicked on her blog, before falling down… Continue reading Plastic Free July: take three
Woah baby: the third trimester and blessing the baby
Once again, I wish I'd kept notes throughout my third trimester. I always found myself thinking "I should write this down" but then convinced myself I'd remember.
