Advent 2025 Part Two ☃️🦌
We're beginning to get into the Advent swing, and here are five more songs that I like. I've played four of these before but one is making its debut - the video is newly released so I'm showing that I'm down with the kids and keeping my fingers on the pulse of that pop…

I've played four of these before but one is making its debut - the video is newly released so I'm showing that I'm down with the kids and keeping my fingers on the pulse of that pop music thing. Or maybe not... This first one was newly released last year, and I played it then.

World Mental Health Day 2025
Those of you who have joined me in more recent times might not be aware that when I started this blog, just over thirteen years ago, I did so with the aim of sharing my experiences of depression, having been encouraged to do so by my counsellor when I was returning to work after many months away. He told me that what I was writing for him in the tasks he gave me was 'inspirational' and would help others, and it turned out that he was right.

Dove Cottage, home of William Wordsworth from 1799 to 1850. I visited this incredibly charming and cosy cottage on Friday. Though a very happy family home for William it looks like it may be in need of a damp course! #GrasmereCumbria

During the last few weeks I have been able to see the interesting parts of Cumbria and the Lake District that most tourists don't get to. Seeing the mist over Whitehaven Bay, a literal launch pad for the trade in rum in the 18th century, was eerily atmospheric.

Staying with family while I wait for my new property to go through the legal stages of completion. I may be living out of bags and boxes at the moment but staying in the Lake District definitely has its advantages #Derwentwater
