{#JanuaryJoy - plan to revamp your garden}


I should have read ahead at the #JanuaryJoy prompts, because I wrote about my garden plans for 'plan a room' on January 10th! Whoops!

My friend Louisa sent me a card for my birthday last week and it had the following Chinese proverb on it...

I'm guessing that this may have something to do with being out in the fresh air and perhaps having time to think? The weather is freezing but like Kate over at Kate on Thin Ice, I believe it's so important to get outside. It's great for the body & mind.


This weekend, we went on a superb day trip to Falkirk. The weather started off a bit miserable and wet, but we were well prepared with our waterproofs, wellies, hats & gloves etc. It was a busy day, with lots to see and do, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, as did the kids. Full post on this will be on the blog later this week.


And this evening I'm heading out for a run with R. This is it - I'm getting back into good habits and I'm determined to get back into shape. I've already lost 3 lbs after cutting out bread & pasta. Just another 8 lbs to go to reach my target.

  1. I have more like 8 stone than 8 pounds to lose but you were the first to inspire me to lose weight way back when we started grooving.
    Can't tell you how delighted I am that you seem in such a happy place. Running - wish I had the confidence to do it. One day perhaps. Have a fab week and ta for linking up

  2. I too believe that a little fresh air can do wonders. Sadly the lovely Welsh weather has stopped us going out of late.
