Lately, threads have come to my attention. Threads running through life, through calling, through relationships. If you’ve read some of my other writing, you’ll maybe know that I’ve spent a lot of time researching my own family tree. Within that, two threads pull strongest — the line of ancestors who lived in Sedbergh and Dent,…
There have been two paths existing simultaneously in me for a while now. One is the path of liminal space.Of watching the old version of myself decay.Of sitting with grief — personal, collective, planetary.Of feeling the quiet exhaustion that comes from being aware of what is happening in the world. The more I’ve come to…
I’m writing this in the run-up to Christmas — a time when I think most people would agree that life is anything but simple. There are New Year’s resolutions on the horizon.Last-minute gifts to buy.If you have children, remembering who needs to be where, and when.And then there’s the utter minefield of navigating family gatherings….
Lately, so many of us are feeling overloaded — not just with the holiday rush, but with the constant stream of social media, news, doom-laden prophecies, and the quiet comparisons to people whose lives seem shinier or smoother than ours.

You’re curious about women’s circles — but not sure what to expect? Here’s a gentle, no-pressure guide to what really happens when women gather in sacred space. An invitation into a space that’s been quietly holding women for centuries. A Different Kind of Gathering I was first drawn to circles from a place of isolation….
As we move through the stages of motherhood, there are quite a few points where things can feel stuck. We know what we’re currently doing is not working, and we want to make changes, but these changes seem large, overwhelming and difficult to achieve when coming up against things like lack of sleep, time etc….
Its noticeably lighter in the mornings and evenings, and there as some Actual Real-Life Sunshine. Spring is coming. I’m trying to live more in sync with my Moon journal; and have ‘down-time’ when the Moon is void-of-course. Which is from now until this evening. I still find this stage frustrating. We are so used to…
Mmm, sourdough bread is the business. Especially coated in cream cheese. So, I decided to have a whirl at making it. Firstly, I follow Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s recipe for sourdough. This begins with making a sourdough starter from flour and water, which needs ‘feeding’ daily. After a while, it smells rank – and what I can…
