I’ve been awake four and a half hours and it’s only just dawned on me that it’s not Saturday! Oops!

Woke insanely early! Too excited to fall back asleep: suddenly it’s a brand new year!
Don’t know about you, but I’m wishing for a global outbreak of kindness in 2026

Good morning super early birds! A cold and frosty start here, but there’s sunshine coming up!
Hope your day sparkles!

I have been lying in bed playing seasonal upsides:
Yes, I know the temperature is in free-fall, with rumours of snow, BUT I swear I can see the light stretching just that little bit longer every day now!
Light always wins, so it’s all good!
A very happy morning to you, dearest early birds!

Awake to another cold, grey morning, but I turn on the radio and Debussy is playing, guaranteeing shimmering inner sunshine all day and there’s Monday’s first point of gratitude right there!
A beautiful new week to all!

Good morning wintery early birds! Christmas may be over, but the celebrations continue at my place where, an amazing 29 years ago me & my husband had no idea just how absolutely lucky we were destined to be! Happy anniversary and biggest thanks Mr B!

Woke late, this morning… today (& yesterday for that matter) won’t be about haute cuisine nor instagramable grub, but there will be family & friends & that’s what’ll make the day sparkle for me!
A happy, kindly day to us all, whoever, whatever, wherever we are!

It’s cold, it’s dark, but it’s Christmas! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men [and the rest of us] actually became a thing?
Happy, hope-filled Christmas to you!

Good morning, dear, sweet and gentle early birds!
Whether you’re running around today, or sitting back enjoying the lull before it all kicks off (if Christmas is even your festival), I hope the day brings you light!

The gift behind the advent calendar window on the day after winter solstice? Two precious minutes more daylight!
Have a stupendous day!

Woke later than usual; light seeping into the sky and birds singing snd I realised: it’s here, it’s finally here at last!
A happy, healthy, hope-filled #WinterSolstice to you and yours!
