February is a month that takes one by surprise; even more then Christmas creeps up on you. It’s a month that initially seems full of hope after the gloom of January. It holds the promise of pancakes, valentines and the first snowdrops. What it also has in store...

I’ll be honest, I mean “seasonal” as in “Christmas”, as I write this. I love the idea of having different organisation systems that run with the natural seasons, but frankly, I have enough difficulty staying organised as it is! Without...

September has got us thinking about decluttering, our ongoing quest for early nights and Ink Drops turning 5 in October. The decluttering seemed the ideal place to kick-off. Our list of decluttering spaces started off innocently enough with desks, files and computers....

It’s been a pretty good summer in the UK this year. The weather has been warm on the whole. There’s been lots of sunshine and blue skies. It seems like summer has been here for months. However, all good things must come to an end. It’s August....

I confess: I’ve been a bit bah humbug about Christmas cards in the past. I looked miserably at the box of cheap cards that I was scribbling a standard greeting in with a cheap biro. And then decided that I just wasn’t going to bother with the whole thing....

It’s half-past seven on a Monday evening as I type this. One of my kitties is asleep. The other one is sitting next to me meowing sadly at intervals because the laptop isn’t very exciting to her; a mouse on a stick would be much more fun. I wasn’t...

I know, with all the autumn-themed posts! But it’s one of my favourite times of the year, and it’s so very photogenic (when it’s not pouring with rain – a pluviophile I am definitely not!) It was Maddy who first suggested the idea of a seasonal...

I always found New Year’s Eve a tricky occasion. I knew that I wanted to see the New Year in, and sing Auld Lang Syne. It was the bits either side of that which I found problematic. I’d enjoyed parties, bars, pubs, and even central London on the evening of the...
