Welcome to Awesome August! This is the month of the great outdoors. I don’t know about you, but I don’t waste any opportunity from sunrise to sunset to do life outside. This means the day gets longer for me because I don’t want to miss any opportunity to grab the light.

Mark was a paperboy, so he has got up early all his life. I, however, am not a natural early riser. However, when it was pointed out to me that if I were to get up just one hour earlier each day, I’d ...

Welcome to beautiful sparkling July

So, July is the month we all go alfresco! Unless it’s bucketing down you won’t find me inside the house during my free time, it’s outside all the way. Whether you’re going away this month or staying at home, and unless you’re reading this in the Southern Hemisphere (and “Hi down there” if you are!) if you’re anything like our household, you’ll be lapping up sunshine, soaking up the Vitamin D, slapping ...

Welcome to beautiful June. It’s Mark’s and my birthday month, in fact they are only one day apart which gives us a legitimate 48-hour double celebration! So, this year we’re taking a few days to enjoy London, joining in the Jubilee festivities. Speaking of which, do catch our lovely documentary where we were filmed as a British brand that features on the Royal Family ...

Welcome to marvellous May. What a beautiful month this is. The air changes, it’s warm and filled with that evocative blossomy aroma, the nights are light until much later and the opportunities to get out and about gives us endless possibilities to enjoy life in our re-found freedom.

It’s pretty amazing to think that one and two years ago, our lexicon was dominated by words like lockdown, furlough, masks, vaccines, isolation, and the dreaded C word to name but a few. How amazing ...

Welcome to the beautiful month of April. My absolute favourite flowers are tulips, and they are popping their proud heads through the soil now, a wonderful sight. We live near Arundel Castle and every year we love to visit to see their stunning tulip displays, followed by a sit on a bench with buttered hot cross buns washed down with a flask of tea. These simple pleasures are enjoyed the more as we appreciate our re-gained freedom.

Easter is naturally a time of peace and joy for us. It seems ...

Welcome to Marvellous March! This month heralds the beginning of Spring and with lighter mornings and evenings, the clocks changing and daffodils and tulips appearing, the promise of new life sings its beautiful song. Even when uncertainty and negative news is out in the ether, I’m cheered by the reliability of nature and the uniqueness of each season. For us as a wellness brand, we also like to be a beacon of hope, assurance, and cheer.

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 ...
