And so my love of clouds continues, which means my collection of cloud photos grows. I think I might just have to create a cloud folder.

Salted Caramel Tiffin

When I was growing up, my Mum used to make us Polish cake. It was this beautifully simple combination of mostly biscuits and chocolate that didn't require baking. I remember finding it so hard to resist the temptation to sneak a piece every time I opened the fridge. But I don't think I ever did, because I thought it would have been too obvious. We all loved this chocolatey treat that my Mum would cut up into tiny mouthfuls (unlike the enormous slabs pictured above!). When I moved away from home to go to university, this was one of the recipes that I had to take with me. I remember making it for my housemates, and two memorable things happened: 1) My friend's asked what was Polish about this cake, and I had no idea. It was one of those occasions where I realised that something that seemed completely normal to me because I had grown up with it, seemed odd to other people. 2) I dropped my housemate's camera into the melted chocolate. Miraculously, it still worked....

Beautiful Bristol and Beyond

As 2014 came to a close, and we started thinking about the year ahead, John and I talked about things that we would like to do differently in 2015. One thing that we both want to do is to explore the South West more. There have been seasons in our marriage where we have had a lot of weekends away for various celebrations and holidays, and in those seasons, when we find ourselves with a weekend at home, all we want to do is relax and stay put. However, it feels like that busy season of life is changing, which means we'll be home more. We've decided to be intentional about going on regular adventures as a family, just day trips to places that are nearby and won't cost much money, but will widen our perspective and bring that sense of feeling refreshed that exploring somewhere beautiful always gives us. I recently asked on a Facebook group that I am part of if anyone could recommend any places within an hour's drive of Bristol that are worth visiting. There was an over...

Five Minute Friday / Here.

It has been a little while since I participated in Lisa Jo's Five Minute Friday writing link up, and I have missed it. Today, it's time to jump back in and get writing. Here I sit, enjoying the fleeting moments of beautiful warmth as the sun appears from behind the clouds for just a few brief moments before disappearing again. And I think of how I adore the way the light fills this room in the afternoon. The moments of sunlight might be fleeting during this Spring season so far, but I know from memory the way the warmth feels. the way the shadows fall at angles across the walls, decorating the magnolia paint with cross hatched patterns. Here , I know the details of this room without having to think. I wonder about the house that we will soon move into. There , all is unfamiliar. I do not yet know where the light falls in our new house, but I cannot wait to find out. The prospect of the unknown makes me want to treasure the moments that we have left in this house, our first...
