I think it’s a good idea to have a calm bedroom if possible. There’s something wonderful about sliding between crisp, freshly-laundered, cotton sheets which have been airing on the line on a summer’s day. After a stressful day, that feeling of relaxation and luxury can truly help ease even the toughest of times. I said … More A Place To Recharge
She could never claim to enjoy the foggy mornings, the half-darkness and drizzly days. There was no doubt that the change in seasons did bring positives too though, the return to layered knitwear and boots was always welcome but even more than this was the chance to indulge her love of ‘cosyfying’ her home.

The world seems to spiral in its craziness. Although I can do little to dampen, or control that craziness outside, I can try and (at least) cling to calm within my four walls. When my mind is whirring with turmoil and my spirit trampled, I can find solace surrounded by beauty and calm. I used … More Beauty And Calm

Waking to the feeling of having slept well and soundly. Oh to smile at spring-time birdsong serenading through the open window on a breeze which carries the scent of forest and the cool tingle of anticipation at whatever the new day might bring. Granted I live in the suburbs of a city, but albeit a … More Peaceful Morning
So often I simply need to sit quietly and write. It’s often a case of too many thoughts building up in my head, and I have to put them down on paper, or type them on a screen to avoid my head seeming to burst. I find it easiest to let the flow of words … More Space To Write
I admit I totally… and utterly LOVE winter… in SL. There’s nothing so lovely as being able to fill a home with candles and firelight. That much is the same on both sides of the screen, but at least in SL there is reliable snow which remains as long as you want it to, without … More Winter Warmth
