Welcome to the beautiful month of February and the month of LOVE. The evenings are getting lighter, have you noticed? The birds are singing, and snowdrops are poking their little heads through. Spring is on the way!

If you have someone special to share the month of love with then that’s wonderful. But, let’s not restrict LOVE to just the romantic connotation. When you think about love, it stretches to children, parents, family, friends, your work, your home, nature, your surroundings ...

Welcome to January 2022 and a very Happy New Year.

When I was a Girl Guide, a role I took most seriously (!) my Guider wrote in my autograph book “Your life lies before you, like a sheet of driven snow. Be careful how you tread on it, for every mark will show” and I’ve never forgotten it as it’s so true, especially at the beginning of a New Year.

What a privilege to be embarking on a whole new year and even though in many respects we’ve had to yet again ...

Welcome to the sharp and frosty beautiful month of DECEMBER. I don’t know about you, but this year, December seems to have suddenly arrived! Maybe it’s because we had a lot of uncertainty a year ago and therefore, these days we move towards the future with a degree of caution, holding our plans lightly; but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Personally, whilst having some solid events to plan for and look forward to, I love to leave room for spontaneity, or even just an unashamed ...

Welcome to the beautiful month of November. The clocks have changed, the nights are drawing in, so we adjust our minds and bodies to all things warm and cozy and embrace this month of a delicious autumn-winter fusion.

I mentioned last month that our house has been decorated in all things golden and amber, wardrobes have been winterized, our trusty Barbour’s have been waxed and my darling husband polished up all our boots in readiness for the new season. We’re so ready for this ...

Welcome to the beautiful, golden month of October. Clear blue skies, red and yellow foliage, crisp clean air and that unique, cinnamon-infused autumnal feeling that belongs to this special season.

For TEMPLESPA, October is our wellness month. This doesn’t mean we’re not dedicated to a lifestyle of wellness all year round, but for us, it’s good to have a particular focus that reminds us to do that holistic health-check including our precious minds.

Welcome to sparkly beautiful SEPTEMBER, let’s hope and pray we have an Indian Summer!

I was brought up in Suffolk on a farm, so it was for us the significant month of harvest, scary big combine harvesters, gathering the crops and making multiple visits to the grain merchants. Even though I was a little tot, I became part of the excitement and sensed the importance of this time of year. To this day I get a buzz out of seeing the straw bales rolled up on a field, witnessing the wonder ...

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Awesome August! August means my veggie patch is abundant and with a glut of courgettes, I thought you might like to share 3 of my favourite and super-easy recipes.

Dear friends

Welcome to the beautiful month of July, the epitome of ‘Britishness’. Croquet, Pimms on the lawn, Wimbledon, outdoor picnics, evening bike rides, strawberries & cream, paddling in the sea, fruit picking and barbecuing EVERYTHING in sight!

We always had our family vacations in July and to this day, even though I live near the beach, anytime I see sand and breathe in the salty sea air I am transported to ...
