It’s been a minute….

…the past few months have been hectic but also seem to have flown by. It doesn’t feel like it’s been 4/5 months since I last posted on here but that’s what it says! So what have I been up to? Well I’ve moved houses with all the various issues and activities surrounding that – from […]

Do my plants know that I am talking about them?

I think my plants know I am blogging about them and taking pictures. No, seriously hear me out. I feel that they have got extra shiny and pushing out more leaves as if they know they need to put their best ‘face’ forward for the blog (and the ‘gram).  Of course, it may just be […]

Mornings – yay or nay? Early worm or night owl?
