Me & my friends from work (past & present) when on a little walk and coffee catch up this morning.
It was super foggy – it looked so pretty, it was just a shame that it was so damp! My feet were a little chilly.
We did a short walk before heading in for a coffee, a snack and a much needed catch up.
When my husband Tim came to get me we decided to embark on the longer walking route before heading home.
We have enjoyed this walk many times and with a Candy Cane Hot Chocolate in hand (very festive!) we made our way round the route. Its roughly a 40/45 minute walk. It was lovely.
I took some photos whilst we were there and here they are…
Walks are one of my favourite things to do these days.
Do you enjoy a Winter Walk?

Hi guys 👋🏻
8 days to go!!
Where’s the time going!?!
I do love clothes, a good clothes shop and general cosyness… so lets take a look at my Winter Lookbook’ from some Highstreet/Online shops.
It’s all about cosy vibes, jumpers and knits.

I found a cute present idea for children, based around a little rhyme, and I thought that I would share it with you.
I actually saw it on a Tik Tok 🤣
Something they want, something to wear, something to read and something to share.
I thought this was a really cute idea and a nice easy way to give you a bit of structure to the present buying, as it’s so easy to get carried away.
I have done this for my Nephews and Niece this year.
Something they want
Something to wear
Something to read
And Something to share
I really enjoyed looking for little bits and pieces for each part of the rhyme – its a really cute idea and makes shopping a little less stressful.
What do you think?

10 DAYS TO GO PEOPLE!! 10 DAYS!!
This is not a drill.
And what better way to get you into the festive spirit than constructing and decorating a gingerbread house.
Let’s take a peek 👀
The icing provided was really bad so I whipped up my own just using icing sugar and water, with a make shift piping bag from parchment paper.
We had a laugh and it came out ok in the end … I’m fairly certain there were more sprinkles on my floor than on this roof though 🤣
Have you attempted a gingerbread house before?
Until Next Time,

Hi guys 👋🏻
11 days until Christmas!
I enjoy making cards and have been doing so for like 12 years now, maybe longer.
I wish I had more time to do it to be honest and the last few years its been hard to make them for both birthdays and Christmas….
…For birthday’s I have opted for the assistance of a certain Funky Pidgeon but I like to make sure that I hand make my Christmas ones.
(Why? when it’s the busiest time of year I don’t know 🤣😬)
But its a good activity to make you feel festive, so here we are again!
Let’s take a look!
Until Next Time,

Hi guys 👋🏻
13 days to go!
Last year, since I moved and ‘upgraded’ shall we say, my reading corner. Thanks to the pandemic I made more use of it and had more time.
Last year I found some cool pictures where people had made snowmen and reindeers using their books and bookcases.
Here is last years efforts…
This year I made a whole christmas tree, the length of my bookcase. This one was alot harder but it was fun to give it a go!
What do you think?
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
