Christmas shopping! I’m finally allowing myself to get into the festive spirit. I find this season hard, not actually because I don’t drink, although many would assume that’s the reason. It’s more that I want everything to be right and I worry that it won’t be, which makes me stress out and then guess what… things don’t go so well. We took three out of four kids shopping today, and had a lovely time. I only had one minor wobble, but it was a particularly busy shop so I’m letting myself off. I left the shop and immediately felt better so it didn’t spoil the day. It’s so nice to spend time with the kids, the older ones are so busy that we don’t do it as often as we should, but it was lovely, and I managed to buy a couple of presents which is really organised for me!

Date for your diaries! Cornwall Meet Up at Cardinham WoodsLet's meet up for a little New Year walk around the woods. Meet at 10am in the carpark.The path I intend to walk is approximately 1.7 miles, and mostly even under foot. It's not the longest path, so we can meet up without it taking up your whole day! I'm hoping to make these a regular event.The cafe should be open afterwards if anyone fancies a coffee!Wrap up warm and I'll see you there! https://www.beesoberofficial.com/.../cornwall-meet-up-at.../

Happy Friday! It’s cold here today so I’ve loaded up the wood burner and I’m going to attempt to get some writing done. I’ve got a bit of a deadline, but I’m hoping I’ll have something to share with you all ready for the start of the New Year! Make sure you make some time for yourself today, even if it’s only 5 minutes. I know I’m going to try to! Have a great day! 💖💖
