Having to stop is bloody lovely sometimes

Anyone else sensing the stirring of new beginnings? The ewes are giving milk, snowdrops are pushing through the earth, and the days are growing longer. Perfect time for some hearth magic and setting intentions. 🌱✨

A martini glass with a martini drink in, on a table in front of an open fire with a television showing American football in the background.

My cup is full. himself is just over two weeks into a months long chemo break and after a lovely quiet Christmas we went to visit my oldest friend (not our ages - we’ve been friends for 46 years), her partner and our godchildren. Lunch, laughs and love. Home to a freezer door martini, nfl & fire.
