The Small Things Spreading Joy in February

March 5, 2023

The shortest month of the year and, for me, often the hardest as it can feel like winter is never ending and the grey cold days will go on forever. Yet there are all the signs of spring if you look for them, which taking and sharing these photos ensured I did. If you’re wondering … More The Small Things Spreading Joy in February

Landscape showing a river completely over spilling its banks, coming right up to the gate in the foreground of the picture. The river water reflects the blue sky, clouds and trees around it and looks more like a lake than a river.

February 5, 2023

These felt especially important in what I find to be one of the least naturally cheering months of the year (I don’t like February much either) and looking at them all together does make me smile. I hope they raise your spirits too. And the 31st small thing is tiny in both subject and length; … More The Small Things Spreading Joy in January

The Small Things Spreading Joy in December

January 7, 2023

So, this is the fifth month of posting daily small things that spread joy.

I’m so pleased that this is helping other … More The Small Things Spreading Joy in December

The Small Things Spreading Joy in November

December 1, 2022

Another month over and I would very much time to slow down for minute! I spent the first half of November in Northumberland, location hunting for the house move which, by hook or by crook, will be happening next year. The second half was mostly spent in the back of cupboards wondering when the Doctor … More The Small Things Spreading Joy in November

If you’re reading this and don’t know what it’s all in aid of then the post explaining everything is here and if you missed last month then that post is here.

This Sparks Joy! July 2021

July 20, 2021

As I type this the sun is spliting the stones from a powder blue sky and the few clouds that are visible are the shining white of freshly fallen snow. It’s also rather hot (at least as far as the UK goes) so my time in the garden is limited to the early mornings when … More This Sparks Joy! July 2021
