St Ethelbert’s Well.

A mother of two younger members of the Cathedral Choir, had arranged some flowers in St Ethelbert’s Well over the last two weeks to cheer people who saw it. I went for a walk to the park today and noticed that even more flowers had been added... for Easter. A small gesture, such as this, really does brighten a day, now maybe even a week!

may your soul be overgrown with moss. may your veins fill with rainwater and your lungs swell with flowers.

ways to see life in a softer light ✨

jump into puddles when it’s raining

draw and paint without needing to be “good” 

find a cookie recipe and do your best

collect weird rocks, thinking they’re gems

fall in love with sunsets, misty mornings, snow and rainbows

borrow a big stack of books from the library 

be excited for small things, like seeing a butterfly or pretty bird or a cat

do ‘embarrassing’ things without a care in the world if it makes you happy

go on your own adventures and plan new adventures for the future in a book

create detailed life stories of random strangers you see on the train

make a wish when an eyelash falls out, when you see a shooting star or ladybug, at 11:11pm, or invent your own superstitions for luck

have a rich world of imagination. create a beautiful strange world or thing to go to when you’re sad and need an escape, or just before you fall asleep so you can dream of this world.

be kind, gentle, loving and helpful without expecting anything back. make tea and sweet treats for people you love

believe in magical creatures, and make ordinary things and people magical in your own way.

learn to be alone and enjoy the silence and peace, but also care deeply about others, and make others feel loved and special like they deserve

find your signature scent, aesthetic, handwriting, songs, quotes, clothing and colors like you’re a protagonist in a movie

learn to smile instinctively at people you make eye contact with. be a person that radiates warmth. be the friend you’ve always needed and wanted

see the good side in everything. don’t hold grudges or let small things affect your happiness

when you catch yourself dreading something, keep telling yourself “it will be nice”, the worst case scenarios almost never happens

make playlists for your moods, your favorite people, places, moments and things you want to experience

invent games for mundane things, like raindrops having a race rolling down the window

go swimming and pretend to be a mermaid, grow flowers and make jam and apple pies and pretend you’re in a fairytale

explore places aimlessly. walk without a purpose so you find nice surprises and places that become special to only you

notice beauty in things that you usually don’t pay much attention to

This dress by Classical Puppets is one of the prettiest things I own, although I’ve only ever worn it twice. I’ve decided to find more occasions to wear it!

In rural Scotland you will stumble upon isolated houses in the most breathtaking locations and I entertain myself by making up stories about what the lives of the people inside are like. E.g. Byron and Mary live in that house with a Jack Russell named Rufus. Mary makes the sweetest blackcurrant pie and Byron takes his boat out nightly to placate the loch monsters with said blackcurrant pie. Loch monsters love pie, if you didn’t know. Rufus warns the couple of the land creatures that creep in the fog of the night. They live in contented (albeit occasionally chaotic) symbiosis with the cryptids.
