  • ‘It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.’ -Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) I first read The Alchemist on the day that I left home, aged 18. I was in a plane, flying to Thailand, where I was to spend a year living & working in a secondary school. It was my first great adventure. Over on the blog, I’m talking about my upcoming Extraordinary Adventure, as part of a collaboration with @Taylors and @CreatingforGood, in support of @womenforwomen. I’m sharing the secrets of my favourite tea, of what happened in Yorkshire last week, and why this really is a dream come true for me. The link’s in my profile, I do hope that you’ll have a read. #CFGextraordinaryjourney Sponsored by @Taylors (Teatime scene created by the lovely @belleannee) . . . . #moodofmywindow #itsstill_life #aquietstyle #littlestoriesofmylife #homeisacupoftea #thisjaneaustenlife
  • Our little town is tucked cosily into a valley. Sometimes we wake to see that the hills that surround us are shrouded in a cloud that hangs as dense grey mist. On those autumn days when the blanket falls, I rush home after the school run to grab my camera and head up to the woods before the sunshine chases the cloud away. I shall never tire of the eerie beauty of the mist between the trees. 🌿 . . . . . . . #gothictonic #mistyfoggymilkymoody #impressionsofautumn #intothewoods #bluronpurpose #thewayweliveinthecountry

  • My Yorkshire blood* thrilled at the prospect of a trip to Harrogate to visit @taylors (home of my favourite Yorkshire Tea ☕️) for the launch of an incredible collaboration with @creatingforgood & @womenforwomen. I’ve been privileged to spend two days in the company of bright, warm & talented women who share a passion for creating, but also for giving back. I learned about tea & coffee, distant lands, the secrets of telling stories, & I met a group of people with a shared vision & a sense of hope. This is the most exciting project I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to: I’m so grateful to you for taking an interest in my journey. 🙏🏻 I’ll be explaining more over on my blog very soon. (If you’re quick you can catch some snippets on stories!) #CFGextraordinaryjourney Sponsored by @taylors * My Dad’s a Yorkshireman born & bred. ❤️ . . . . . . #thisjaneaustenlife #moodofmywindow #homeisacupoftea #dailypoetry #littlestoriesofmylife
  • I got up super early this morning to catch a train to Yorkshire. 😴☕️ Take a peek at stories later to see what I’m up to. Does anyone else get excited about a long train ride with a book? 📖 This is from the Lake District last month- the iconic Ullswater boathouse. We canoed past it with the children, and it was so pretty that I had to head back later with my camera (on land this time!) 🛶 . . . . . . #rusticgamestrong #littlestoriesofmylife #quietinthewild #impressionsofautumn
  • Last night I went to a tiny country church to see @jackiemorrisartist speak about The Lost Words, the book that she has created with @robgmacfarlane. A glorious spell book, The Lost Words is an evocation: a celebration of nature words, a lament at their disappearance and a call to the wild. It’s a beautiful book with an important message, and it was fascinating to hear the story of how it came into being. I left feeling uplifted and inspired. (You can see a couple of pics of the church on my stories. This image is of that gorgeous spot @theethicurean - apologies for today’s totally #unrelatedcaption!) 📚💫 . . . . . . #thismykingdom #rusticgamestrong #dailypoetry #mystoryoflight
