My Sentimental Heart

With December just around the corner, the countdown to Christmas is well and truly underway. Whether you (like me) get teary eyed at the #bearandhare advert or are dusting off your decorations, thoughts are inevitably turning to forthcoming weeks of festivities, and the furious frenzy of present b…

Now that the temperatures have well and truly plummeted, I'm rapidly reverting to cosy mode and reaching for some of my favourite winter warmers. At this time of the year you'll usually find me wearing a succession of jumpers on repeat, and whilst I've been getting plenty of wear out o…

Another month has well and truly bitten the dust and I'm once again struggling with the idea that there's only one payday left until Christmas (aaaah!) My October was a pretty busy one, filled with lots of lovely happenings- including my first trip to Scotland! Here's a peek and what I…
