Tom Odell in Thetford Forest
Life is very busy at the moment – work has been manic and there have been some big significant personal and family issues to deal with – so it was great to escape from everything for a bit a go to a fantastic concert in the Thetford forest last week! When it was announced that…
Slow you down…
After a cold, wet and generally dismal weekend it was lovely to see the return of the sun yesterday morning. The first task of the week was to drop my daughter off at Gressenhall Museum for her first day of work experience and then on to Sheringham for a PR shoot for my very up and…
That was May
It’s the 1st of June although you wouldn’t know it. My Facebook feed is full of picture of friends flaming woodburners! The year is flying by and May was certainly a busy month… On my morning walks I saw buzzards, a heron, swallows and swifts and heard a cuckoo (walking in Cuckoo Lane). My son came back…
That was April

Norfolk lambing day
As readers of my Blog will know I’m a great supporter of all things local – from arts and crafts to food. One of the things I am particularly passionate about is supporting our local farmers and particularly those who rear their own livestock. We are lucky to live in a county where there are…
Muddy roads and signs of spring
So finally – after a break of over two weeks I was back out first thing for my early morning walk. It’s amazing how quickly spring is approaching! In January the sun was just breaking over the horizon as I started out – where as this morning it was quite high in the sky. It was…
Super healthy super food soup
For the last 1o days our household has been plagued by germs. We have coughed, sneezed, had aches and pains, high temperatures and generally felt very rubbish indeed. Cue the need for some restorative and regenerative super food! Earlier in the week I was in Holt for a meet up with a bride and groom…
Valentine’s Day
We have all been suffering from the flu in our household over the past week so I thought that I would make some restorative French onion soup for lunch. As I was weeping into my sliced onions I suddenly remembered this fabulous Valentine’s Day poem by Carol Ann Duffy. Not a red rose or a satin heart.…

Advent: 5th December – Penny’s Tearoom
Penny’s Tearoom in Saham Hills has become a regular haunt for the yoga gang as we continue to sooth our chakras after a class with coffee and cake! As well as coffee and cake, Penny offers a wide range of options – from a full English breakfast to light lunches and warming casseroles and hot puddings.…
Advent: December 4th – Dull days before Christmas
A dull, dismal morning walk. No light – everything just flat and grey….
Advent: 3rd December – Passenger at the UEA
Last night was my second night out in a week (virtually unheard of!) as we headed off to the UEA to see Passenger. I took my daughter and her friend and as I was going to have to do the lifts and rather like Passenger, I though that I’d get myself a ticket as well.…
Advent: 2nd December – snakes alive!
Today was my birthday! I won’t say how old I now am – but the clue is in the title of this post! I had a lovely evening – we went to see Mockingjay part one in Norwich and then on for some tapas. Luckily the horrible drizzly rain that had been with us all…
Advent: 1st December – dull, cold and dismal
A few years back I successfully blogged every day for advent – either one or several images. Despite good intentions I’ve not quite managed to keep up with posting every day in subsequent years. However this year I’m going to give it another go with the aim of blogging both here and on my personal Blog The Pixel…
That was October
October came and went so quickly – it certainly was a strange month in terms of the weather with temperatures in the 20s some days. When the sun wasn’t shining we had some amazing skies and a couple of very dramatic storms. Last week was half term and we went on a mini road trip…
