A bricolage of things. Nature, creativity, community, kindness… Unbothered. Moisturised. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing. Profile picture: me in a pink jumper smiling Header image: me in a purple hat taking a picture of myself in a broken mirror

Friendly #PhDSky backup reminder: if you haven’t saved your writing or thesis files somewhere safe this week, now’s a good moment. It’s always worth keeping a copy in two different places—just in case. Sharing because I always appreciate these nudges when I see them elsewhere!

Can I just please beg everyone to put a bit of card with emergency contact numbers in your wallets. Not just in case you die, though that would really help me out this week, but if you have a turn or accident. It's a really easy thing to do and saves valuable time.

Finally finished this year’s holiday journal. This marks ten years of capturing our family holidays. From south coast beach holidays with toddlers, to lockdown staycations and now France with teens. I’ve enjoyed capturing the moments. I hope one day my family will enjoy looking back over them

Excerpts from an illustrated journal. Swimming in the Seine, a farm house, bassoon players and three people stood together on a beach. All in amateur watercolour and ink.

Logging off to go to bed, else I’ll stay up reposting Dolly Parton tributes. I’m not one for celebs, but she was an icon, pure of heart, generous of spirit, self assured & deeply kind. A role model, humble, beautiful inside & out, wise & genuine. What a gift to share the earth with her briefly. RIP

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.
