#LittleLoves – December 2022

#LittleLoves - December 2022

So here it is, the final Friday of December 2022. Another year has passed us by and whilst I’d love to tell you that it’s been a good one, I’m still trying to process and make sense of much of it. Whilst I’m a fan of even numbers (I’m sure I have some form of OCD) I can’t say likewise for the years which have been ‘even’ in number. Let’s take 2020 for example; it was meant to be the year of clarity, clear vision, and Worldwide success yet we all know how that ended… 2022 was similar in some …

The 1am Club

The 1am Club

You know those nights when you just don’t feel ready to sleep? I seem to be having one! It’s 1am precisely, two hours at least since I should have been flat out in my bed. It may have been a busy day, I may have had my mind filled with thoughts and ideas for hours on end but I’m unable to switch off as of yet. Insomnia is something which often bites my backside and as a result I often wake feeling rough as toast the next morning. The cure? Well that would be sleep but trying to find the …
