We’ve had four beautiful sunny days this week; just what I needed to get out of the late winter funk. Truth be told I was entirely over rain and grey days. Granted, I’m grateful for the water but how about those clouds head out west for a while, hey?

I know I harp on about simplicity and whilst I can talk about simple living and simple clothing and simple food, simplicity really comes down to things like roadside freesias that don’t cost a cent, walking barefoot on warm grass, lifting your face to the sun and feeling it to your core. It these simple things that have brightened me this past week – thank goodness for that!
