The Year of Mindfulness

The Year of #Mindfulness

I ended 2017 knowing that I wanted to become more mindful. In terms of my finances, my behaviours, my actions and so on. So 2018 is going to be The Year of Mindfulness.

I’m usually someone who is pretty mindful, but more mindful of others than myself. In 2018 I plan (and am actually acting on) changing that. Taking more time for myself, thinking of the consequences of my actions – ‘do I really…

Bourne Mill

We went to Bourne Mill (in September last year) - with a bit of an update. #lbloggers #NationalTrust

Now, this is what you call a delayed blog post. We visited Bourne Mill back in the September (of last year now!) and it’s taken me until now, January 2018, to actually get around (find the time) to write any form of words about it. It’s been a crazy 7 months since my last post, I promise. (more…)

Two Cubed Creative

*NEW post* Two Cubed Creative #lbloggers

Posts like this usually start with ‘So…’, So…You know I’ve mentioned about my company a few times on here? Yeah, well we rebranded.  In February of this year we began trading as Two Cubed Creative.

It’s something that as soon as I set up the company in 2015, I knew would inevitably have to do, but didn’t have the time to sit down and properly create a brand. Alas as we passed our first birthday…

A Short Trip to Guernsey

*NEW post* A Short Trip to #Guernsey #lbloggers #travel

I had no intention of throwing together a post about my trip to Guernsey with Lucy, alas I snapped a few pictures on a number of wintery walks, and thought I’d share them on here.

Guernsey is an absolutely beautiful place, it’s Lucy’s home and I love to visit. We were over in January/February and it’s taken me this long to get this post up!

We went over for a late Christmas celebration with…

A visit to Melford Hall

So, call us old fogies, but Lucy and I signed up to become members of the National Trust the other week. So far, best decision we have made. After watching Downton Abbey I couldn’t help but have the desire to go and snoop on some stately homes. Melford Hall was our first stop. (more…)
