What's Kate up to?

My visit to #finland last year made me realise tha

My visit to #finland last year made me realise that one of the biggest reasons it is consistently voted the world's happiest nations is.... saunas! Having been a bit sceptical of the benefits of communal sweatiness, I am now a complete convert, particularly if it is a sauna with a view with bracingly cold water near by. So...

Meet my brilliantly clever friend Simon @tinyhomecompany who builds his beautiful, small-but-perfectly-formed creations on wheels, using vintage, upcycled trailers & wood all harvested from sustainably managed forests around his Herefordshire home & hand sawn with skill & love. He'd never made a sauna before, but it seemed to me that the Tiny Home model he has perfected could be infinitely adaptable to be many things. And he proved me right.

I am happier than all the Fins in Finland! Thank you Simon.

This is a message to the Sarah who lives in Dorset

This is a message to the Sarah who lives in Dorset, sent me this card & the most beautiful letter but with no return address. So this is the best I can do for now to thank you for sharing your brave story & for taking the time & energy to write. I'm moved & delighted that in a small way I could help. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. You will get there. With love & admiration, Kate x

For the past few years I've been noting down dates

For the past few years I've been noting down dates - in a fairly ad hoc way - of when things happen - like my first bluebell of the year. And 31st March seems to be fairly commonly the day I spot my first Wye Valley bluebell. And here they are. The pioneers that herald that utterly joyful, sweet-smelling spring spectacular. Flowers as blue as the sky today.
