Today I’ve been to visit friends and they have the most beautiful garden 😍 I had to share this small slice of heaven with you, no captions because the flowers speak for themselves 😍 I hope you had a nice day with a smidgen of calm whatever you’ve been doing 🥰 I will be posting Around the world in 80 sketches tomorrow as I am completing exhausted our friends have a 2 year old and she knows I am a sucker for Peppa Pig and running round the garden 🤦🏻‍♀️🫠 My heart is full though ❤️

I noticed some beautiful plants uncurling themselves towards the sun on my walk this morning, and it made me think about something… 🌿 They weren’t asking permission.They weren’t checking who approved.They weren’t shrinking themselves to fit the space around them. They were simply turning towards what helps them grow. 🌻 And maybe we forget we’re allowed to do that too. How much of your precious energy is spent trying to be understood, approved of, or liked by people who may only be passing through this chapter of your life? 🧐 How often do you make yourself smaller so others can stay comfortable? What might happen if you gently turned yourself towards the things that warm you too? Towards rest.Towards creativity.Towards peace.Towards the life that feels like yours.🫶🏻💗 Some people are here for a season.But you are here for your whole life.💜 Maybe your energy belongs with the light. 🤍

Today was full of creativity… just not all in the obvious ways. 🧐 We went out and bought lots of beautiful bedding plants for the garden, so I’ve been knee-deep in compost and pansies. 🌸 💗 I took this picture below of my handsome boy Reggie and completely changed the background in Photoshop. This evening I’ve been editing some footage I took at the beach the other day. 🏖️☀️ And come to think of it… I got creative in the kitchen too and made pizzas with a yummy salad. 🍕 I love days like these. Variety keeps things interesting, but it’s also a lovely reminder that creativity doesn’t only live in drawing or painting. It can show up in gardens, kitchens, cameras, ideas, and all the little ways we shape a day. 📷🧑‍🍳🪏 A smidgen of creativity can be found almost anywhere if you look for it. 🫶🏻💜 Where did your creativity show up today ? Or was it taking a day off ? Which is obvs ok too 🙌🏻💜 Oh there’s also a picture of the sunsetting this evening. Will get pic of the garden tomorrow 👌

This Easter bank holiday has been one of those gentle, grounding resets I didn’t realise I needed. I’ve spent time out in the garden getting stuck into the weeding (there was a lot 😅), and we gave the fish pond a proper clean out too. The plants had grown wild in there, so it felt good to clear some space and let everything breathe again. The sweetest part… we found so many frogs 🐸 Little pockets of life just quietly getting on, tucked away in the water. There’s something about being close to nature like that that just softens everything, isn’t there? Like pressing a reset button… slowing the noise, steadying the breath, and bringing you back to yourself. In between it all, I managed to capture a few little video moments so I can share a glimpse of it with you 💛 I hope wherever you are, you’ve found even the smallest smidgen of calm this weekend 🌿

Wowsers this Monday has had a brilliant start ! 🥳 Welcome @Tonya Becker to the community ❤️🥰
