All the beautiful mossy trees in Epping Forest.

Running down the hill with Jen and Fiona to warm up after a cold lunch.

Surprise sing-a-long Matilda!

Happy birthday to me!

Being in the beautiful tiny wood, with all the birdsong and flowers and sunlight falling down through the trees.

Finishing my first basket.

A spider plant baby from Sally.

Using the bell hook to make fence posts.

The young people who came to volunteer.

Finding out I could WFH tomorrow, making getting to the airport easier!

Getting to open and close BW so I could be out the office and in the woods and a fancy cafe for the afternoon. It was nice to be in that quiet place again.

Listening to the ukulele players in the wood.

The sky, trying to decide between rain and sunshine

Cooking a new creamy mushroom spaghetti recipe and it was so good I ate both portions.

Beautiful wooden things and coffee with Bivan.

Christmas decorations with Jonny. Yes, in November.

Our pub and then Bridget Jones with too many cheesy balls.

Oh and Nat sending me a recording of him playing a Christmas song on the tuba. That actually really made me smile for a long time.

Kicking through the bright yellow leaves on the pavement.

The whole wood working day. The bright blue sky, being outside, the fire, making a bowl, the feminist chat at lunchtime, the end result. It was brilliant.

Smelling like wood smoke


Dinner with Helen. Reminiscing, laughing and reliving.

Liking my hair. My face. Feeling good.

Getting a text from him. First. 

Also, this wooden plant pot at work.


The grass is growing. And my first tomato is turning red.

The Dreamers Awake exhibition at the White Cube. But mainly the carved wooden vaginas. 

Wearing my new swishy skirt and feeling pretty fabulous. 


The green wood bowl workshop. I made a bowl from a chunk of log using an axe, an adze, a chisel and a knife. It was amazing! And such hard work. But I did it. 

Doing it with Jim. I love him. What an amazing friend to have had for 25 years. He’s one of the most caring and supportive men I know. I’m so lucky.

Watching Happy.

Dad got the job!
I whittled a spatula.

Laura Ashley bubble bath in my bath after a long, strenuous day. It smelled so good.
Whole milk.
I bought some wood. First steps.

Smell of wood dust on the tube

That feeling you get after one drink at the end of work

That feeling you get after three drinks at the end of work
