Glimpsing a nourishing life; with a baked treat and a good book
November and December have brought quite a few lovely books my way, both through self indulgence and thoughtful gifts. What have you treated yourself to lately? What are you currently reading? These are the books that make up my November and December book haul… Thirteen Ways of Looking by Colum McCann. I first heard about […] Read more…
Blogmas Day 15 (Tuesday): Joyous I have had a massive headache today (since last night) and feel pretty gross all over, so today’s prompt is a little tricky! But Mum and I did watch the movie “Inside Out”, which I have wanted to watch for ages, and it was great!! It is about the little […] Read more…
Day 8 (Tuesday): Book on my wish list I have bought quite a few books lately, but my to-read list is forever growing, so a book high on my wish list that I haven’t bought yet is ‘Beyond the Pale’ by Emily Urquhart. This book tells the story of the author’s daughter who was born […] Read more…
Day 1 (Tuesday): Merry Happy Blogmas! Welcome to the festive month!

As of today, I have been unable to work for three years. Wow. That is a long time. It took me that long to get my degree for the career I loved! On the day that I had been unable to work for a year, I had a group of friends over with my family, […] Read more…
After my big haul in August, I was somehow quite restrained in September and did not buy any new books! In October, I was still quite sensible, because I have been trying to catch up on the books I have already bought! I did buy three books though…. Room by Emma Donoghue. This book has […] Read more…
