Today is just another day...

Back to work, back to school, back to life. It is what it is, but here's how to ease into it..

The view as I write.. winter can be so stunning.

It is 7 o’clock in the morning and I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I have not experienced this hour since Tuesday 23^rd December 2025 and now its Monday 5^th January 2026. The kids are back at school, my husband is back at work, and we are slipping unconsciously into ‘business as usual’ mode.

I feel strangely sad and yet energised. It is freezing here in London but so bright. It may snow later in the week which, despite being expected for winter, will throw our infrastructure into absolute chaos and people will speak of nothing else until the weather changes again. And then we will speak of nothing else but that.

I feel torn.
