When I travelled to Bournemouth last week, I made it halfway to the castle with my stick before my body said no more…

Since then, I’ve been in bed recovering… moving slowly, gently, and listening inwards 💚

I brought my teapot with me for comfort (of course I did), and now that I’m home, I’ve been leaning into the colder weather by lighting candles, pouring tea, and letting the quiet hold me ✨

Chronic illness means adjusting constantly… but this week, I’m softening into rest and letting a little cozy magic carry me through 🕯

Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit out of sync since summer arrived. Although I’ve adjusted to being home, it still feels strange. Being apart from Calli has been really tough and my mental health has had its ups and downs, especially as I navigate through this seasonal change. I’ve found that collecting and discovering vintage teapots has made my days a little more magical 🫖✨

The heat has been overwhelming, making it hard to leave the house, but I’ve found solace in my garden. It’s my little retreat from the world, where I can pause, breathe, and connect with nature, always bringing a spot of tea along with me 🍃

I’m embracing the slow, peaceful moments as best as I can and finding comfort in these simple things 🌳

How are you adjusting to the season’s changes?

From the cozy corners of the Cotswolds to the enchanting landscapes of Moominland, my teapots carry a little piece of home with me, wherever I go 🫖✨Curious to see how these worlds blend together? My new vlog launched on YouTube at the weekend, where I take you from the Cotswolds to Finland, from Spring to summer, sharing the magic of both places and my transition through the seasons 🍃

It’s recently been over 30°C here in the UK and I am not built for this heat 🫠 So, I did the only logical thing… I summoned Autumn 🍂✨ Pumpkins, candlelight, and of course more teapots 🫖 Summerween has begun 🎃

The changing of seasons always brings its own challenges, especially as I struggle with the transition from spring to summer 🌱🌻

For me, summer is often the hardest to embrace. But this year, I’m taking a gentler approach. I’m allowing myself to slow down and not force creativity when I’m not feeling it.

As I’ve eased the pressure to constantly produce content, I’m slowly learning to transition into the summer season at my own pace. My chronically cozy life often guides me to slow down and I see that as a positive.

Nature teaches us so much about transitions, each season brings us something new and reminds us that no season can last forever and that’s okay. It’s all part of the journey.

How do you find the shift from spring to summer? 🌞

This week felt a little softer in many places and heavier in others but each day offered something to hold onto 💚 As I slowly settle back into life in the Cotswolds, I’ve been noticing all the small joys nature lays out for us 🌱 The signs of the season shifting from spring to summer have helped me shift too.
Here’s to welcoming the first few days of summer 🌻

What little summer things are you looking forward to?

This week I kept coming back to this little garden corner 🌱 The sunlight danced, the breeze held me and for a moment, everything slowed down.
When you’re suffering from fatigue, having a soft place to land means everything ✨
What has carried you through this week?

Lately, I’ve been learning to give myself permission slips when I’m feeling unwell… To slow down even more, and to honour where I am, without guilt. These are the quiet reminders I return to the harder days and the cozy comforts I allow myself without apology 💚

I give myself permission… to romanticize my recovery - Healing is not always linear but it can still be beautifully cozy. My soft slow life is still a full life 📖

I give myself permission… to rest with joy - A cozy film, a comfort playlist, some tasty snacks. I am allowed to rest and find comfort 🛌

I give myself permission… to cancel or reschedule - I am listening to my body and I am allowed to say “no”. ❌

I give myself permission… to do one thing slowly and call it enough - Even if it’s just brushing my teeth or lighting a candle. Enough is enough 🕯️

I give myself permission… to do absolutely nothing and still be valuable - Productivity does not define my worth. Stillness can be sacred 🫂

I give myself permission… to let the day be what it is - Even if it’s messy or slow or quiet. This day still belongs to me ✨

I give myself permission… to ask for help - Whether it’s asking a friend, my partner for help with day to day activities. I don’t have to carry this all on my own 🧺

I give myself permission… to feel everything - Sad, angry, lonely, peaceful. I’m allowed to feel everything I am feeling 😭

I give myself permission… to enjoy comfort without guilt - A soft blanket, a warm drink, my favourite show. I don’t need to “earn” comfort 📺

Comfort is poured slowly…Not rushed. Not earned. Just made and savoured. This isn’t just about tea 🫖 it’s about the emotional and physical ritual of slowing down. Choosing softness over everything 💚This little ritual has held me on the softest days, and the hardest ones too 🤎 Sometimes, the kettle hums louder than my thoughts and that’s a kind of peace I’ll never take for granted 🌱Tell me, how do you pour comfort into your day?

A slow shire summer is beginning to unfold 🌱
This week offered me a deeper sense of what I’ll need from the season ahead 🌻 I found myself resting even more, while also spending every bit of strength I could in the garden. We even built a second miniature pond and we’re quietly hoping some lovely frogs might find it and make it their home someday 🐸

This new greenhouse feels like it will become a soft part of my slow summer 🌱 A space waiting to bloom, full of gentle promise, quiet growth, and one very charming strawberry watering can 🍓 Sometimes, a cozy corner is all you need to feel rooted again 🌿
