Writing Barefoot

Dear Reader,

I have survived the great heatwave of 2026 and I have the eye bags of sweaty, sleepless nights to prove it. Today I am curled up catching up on rest and watching monster movies whilst husband is upstairs…

Dear Reader,

Ive been quietly obsessing over AI recently. I’m so happy that the Americans have banned copyright on art made entirely by AI. I hope that happens in the UK soon. I personally think all art, music and writing…

Dear Reader,

Chicken is in the oven and I have a half hour to write. I’m all about the squeezing productive things into these moments but lately I’ve been leaning more deeply into just not spending leveraging every waking moment…

Dear Reader,

I’m actually writing this on a perfect Saturday morning. The grocery shopping is done, Ive had my chocolate croissants and coffee, husband is gardening, incense is lit, the fan is whirring away, Jodie Foster is in full vigilante…

Dear Reader,

Im reaching out through a migraine to write this today but I am determined to, in some small way, do something productive. I have tried to rest and relax for the last day and have somehow managed to…

Dear Reader,

I have to admit I’ve been feeling a little stuck lately. Not in any huge way but in a way that feels like I’m locked inside a comfy house but I’m waiting for my husband to show up…

Dear Reader,

There is list upon list upon list to my left. I’m behind on pretty much everything. I’ve spent the morning catching up on sleep, watching Smallville ( a new found guilty pleasure ) and filling my work diary…

Dear Reader,

The rain is running down the windows, the coffee is hot, candles and incense are lit and I’m settling into the sofa with a belly still full of last nights Valentines meal. It’s a perfect Sunday. I love…

Dear Reader,

I’ve decided on a potching around the house-bloggy-cleaning-watching horror movies with a sketchbook- kind of day. I know that there are more productive things I could probably be doing but January lasted for 8 years and it’s finally…

Dear Reader,

This has been a tricky month for reasons I can’t quite put my finger on. There’s this thick “muddy” energy in the air that I have found hard to shift. I did a lot of healing last year,…

Dear Reader,

I knew the hotel was haunted the second I got out of the car. When you know you know and well, I knew. The second I went inside the whispers began and this almost smog like energy started…

Dear Reader,

First blog of 2026 and I’m here with a belly full of chocolate croissants ( diet starts tomorrow-ish ) after watching Ghostbusters with my husband with the both of us nattering and drinking coffee. The house is warm…

Dear Reader,

I am grateful that my husband is in a job that he loves now. I am grateful that, even though OscarDog passed away that out of all of the human beings that there are on the planet I…

Dear Reader,

Deep into this “Winter Arc” with ANOTHER cold finally leaving my system I am now knee deep in deciding what my plans are for the next year. I’ve noticed a lot lately that it seems like my desire…
