My Sentimental Heart

There's no question that life as we know it has changed beyond all recognition over the last few months, and there's no doubt in my mind that this huge period of upheaval has had and will continue to have a huge impact on our collective mental health and overall wellbeing for a long time t…

Another Friday down! And it seems like we've got a few weeks to wait before we can claim back a little bit more normality. I'm still feeling a little bit reticent to make the most of the easing of lockdown as it stands, and after my first trip into town at the weekend, I'm still slightl…

Here we are again! It feels stranger and stranger to get further and further away from these photos being taken by the week, and looking back at my past self, with no idea of what was about to unfold feels even scarier. As I type this, I'm looking out of the window at beautiful blue skies and …

When lockdown started, I found myself suddenly really excited about the prospect of having more time to read. What I hadn't counted on, however, was that my concentration would go more or less completely out of the window, and that actually sitting down to get lost in a book was something whic…

Well, here we are- another Friday! I think this is now week thirteen, but to be honest I've really stopped clocking up the specifics- focusing instead on just taking one day at a time. It's been such a strange phase of life to be living through- sort of like a perpetual Groundhog Day or a …

Well...another week down, and how is everyone holding up? It doesn't really feel like a huge amount has changed since the start of lockdown- aside from me discovering a new found adoration for my local pizza restaurant and their home delivery service, and I think one of the things which I'…

At the start of lockdown, I remember one of the most mooted points among my friends and I was what to do about bras. To wear, or not to wear- that was the question. And, if we were to wear, it was certainly not going to be business as usual, with comfort taking precedence- especially with the pros…

Aaand, just like that, another Friday! It's now been a full twelve weeks of living in lockdown for me, and this week I made what felt like a huge step forwards in terms of embracing a new sort of normality- meeting my lovely friend Katharine for a socially distanced picnic! It was so nice (and…

Another week, another archive outfit snap! I thought I'd scheduled this post for last week, but it turns out it's just been merriily sitting in my drafts instead- so, here it is, better late than never! Again, it's difficult to know how to preface this without like an absolute broken r…

There's no doubt that there's been a lot which has changed during lockdown and over the last few months, and I think we've all been struck by how much things have altered in such a short space of time. Like most people, I jump between moods as quickly as the weather shifts these days, …

So, here we are at another Friday, and the first one of the month. June usually always feels like such an optimistic time of the year, complete with the longest day towards the end of the month, but it's been difficult to feel cheerful about it when we can't enjoy it to the full just at th…

And, just like that, we arrive in June! I don't know whether any of us could have predicted just how much life would have changed so completely in the last three months at the start of the year, and it's safe to say that we've all had to slightly recalibrate our plans and ambitions for…
