Dave and I's first day of house viewings was a little disheartening, but the second day (crammed full of twice as many viewings) was much more promising. We've not found our future home yet, but we have gotten to a point where we're much more clued up on what our actual deal breakers are and… Continue reading Life doesn’t stop because you’re house hunting 🏘️

Way more than 66 Books 📚
Yesterday I went to book lover heaven. My friend and I met for a super scummy brekky and a catch up, before hopping in an Uber to 66 Books to go book shopping! For those who don't already know, 66 Books, is a fully operational book warehouse in Hertfordshire which a company called 66 Book… Continue reading Way more than 66 Books 📚
Daydreamer 💭
I've been trying my absolute hardest not to grumble about the heat this week and I've felt better for finding a way to be positive about the fact it's summer. And that's not to say I haven't loved all of the autumnal content popping up from my fellow autumn/winter lovelies, but embracing summer and all the joyous things that come with it has helped to turn my frown upside down...
Thirty and Thriving 🙌
It's Sunday, the sun is shining and we've a roast dinner cooking away - nothing makes me happier than a day like this one. We've got family staying, I'm one beer down and I'm feeling more chilled than I have in ages. (Besides the football nerves of course - it's been a nervy couple of… Continue reading Thirty and Thriving 🙌
Fake it ’til you make it 🍹
My cheeks feel warm and rosy, in that way they only do after a couple of days out in the sunshine. Those chilly gale force winds seem to have passed through and this weekend has been verging on summery! It turns out Angel, Islington is the perfect place to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon. Yesterday… Continue reading Fake it ’til you make it 🍹
Healthy Changes 🪟
I've made a few really healthy changes this week and I'm well chuffed about it. We re-arranged my desk on Monday so that I can see out of the window more easily. When I'm sat at my desk working, no-matter how confident and motivated I feel, I'm filled with adrenaline. I imagine this feeling is heightened for me, because I'm a nervous Nellie, but this is probably the case for most of us...
Saying Goodbye: Family time in the Scottish Highlands
It's been some time since my last post, it's nearly party season and I'm still nowhere near full of beans. I am up early today and packed for a few days away in the BEAUTIFUL Scottish Highlands with family. We're staying in Kinlochleven - a village that's full of special memories for us a family.… Continue reading Saying Goodbye: Family time in the Scottish Highlands
All Storms Really Do Pass
Honestly? This week wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. On Tuesday, returning to work after the bank holiday, I had a really rubbish brain day. My head was full of fluff and anxiety and everything felt difficult. I stumbled through, but by the end of it, I had a mighty tension headache and tears in my… Continue reading All Storms Really Do Pass
Travelling With Butterflies: Navigating Anxiety Whilst Abroad
Back on home turf and reflecting on an incredible weekend away in Italy spent sticking a middle finger up at all of the anxious thoughts that told me I couldn't enjoy it. Travelling feels daunting to most of us regardless of our mental wellness. I think it's natural. As someone who struggles with anxiety a… Continue reading Travelling With Butterflies: Navigating Anxiety Whilst Abroad
Week Nine: Normality is underrated and not to be taken for granted
Monday morning I rolled over to grab the tv remote, turned on the news and snoozed for ten minutes. I rolled out of bed and into the shower. I didn't have time for a cuppa (because of the snooze - so worth it on a Monday morning) and I headed straight to the station once… Continue reading Week Nine: Normality is underrated and not to be taken for granted
Week Four: Celebrating Small Wins
Week four of 2019 began, for all of us, with Blue Monday. On Blue Monday, I felt surprisingly yellow. I spent the tube journey smiling to myself like a fool. I was determined not to let the whole 'Blue Monday' label convince me that it was going to be a difficult day. After all, I did… Continue reading Week Four: Celebrating Small Wins
Week One: Fireworks at Embankment and a New Year Declutter
This week began with New Year's Eve. I was lucky enough to be working from home; allowing me enough time to get ready and get on a train, with Dave, into London before the rush hour. I've only ever been into London once on New Year's Eve before and even then, steered clear of central… Continue reading Week One: Fireworks at Embankment and a New Year Declutter
Week Zero
I'm curled up on the sofa at my parents' and I've spent the whole day in my PJs. The Christmas tree is twinkling and the living room is super cosy. It's odd isn't it? This week between Christmas and New Year. No-one knows which day of the week it is. Our New Year's resolutions don't… Continue reading Week Zero
Feel Proud of Your Achievements, No Matter How Small
I remember when I went through a phase of wishing and hoping and dreaming of my blog becoming a massive hit and me being given my own column in a hugely famous magazine. I went and read all these posts from other bloggers about how to gain a following and how to keep them captivated.… Continue reading Feel Proud of Your Achievements, No Matter How Small
A Vital Life Lesson: There’s Joy in Letting Go, Accepting Change and Staying Put
I'm the happiest of Bronwens today. Autumn simply is the second most wonderful time of year (Christmas being the most wonderful time of the year, of course) and I'm so happy it is here. What's not to love? Good TV. Jumper weather. Beautiful crisp colourful leaves. Monthly reasons to get together with friends and family… Continue reading A Vital Life Lesson: There’s Joy in Letting Go, Accepting Change and Staying Put
No rest for the wicked
Or so the saying goes. Luckily for me, wickedness aside, I've finally got a day off today. I'm sat in my room with the curtains closed, because it may only be half four, but it is dark outside already! I've lit candles and I've got Spotify shuffling through my favourite playlist. I've eaten a cooked… Continue reading No rest for the wicked
