Why do I feel SO SENSITIVE?
I've always been terrible at getting back to people when they communicate with me. Birthday cards? Who am I kidding. A few good friends send them to me, but given they never get one in return, the number is dwindling. Unless I can find the perfect words, a text stays unsent. And don’t even get me started on those two dreaded blue ticks...

HOW THE WILD helped me heal
The sun is warm on my arms as I tentatively step into the lake, the water a delicious cool around my ankles. I give a little shriek as I wade in, little by little, but I soon adjust to the temperature – and it's wonderful to glide through the water. There's the green of the surrounding trees and grass cradling around the lake, the sound of ducks quacking somewhere nearby. I swim gently, and say hello to fellow swimmers out enjoying the sun. It's amazing to me that this place is close to our home.

THE SIMPLE JOY OF DOING SOMETHING COMPLETELY PURPOSELESS on purpose
There is a particular feeling that arrives with the first genuinely warm Saturday of year.The window is open, the light has changed and something in the air smells faintly of possibility. And within minutes, sometimes seconds, the mental list begins. The garden needs sorting. You could finally start that thing you've been putting off since January. You could go for a run, or reorganise the kitchen.

Beyond SKIN DEEP
What makes you feel beautiful? The more I interrogate the notion of beauty, the more I question what I truly find beautiful — and what I have been conditioned to find beautiful. As a woman in her early forties, ageing has added a complicated dimension to how I relate to beauty, especially as a brown woman who, for so long, did not see herself reflected in the standards I absorbed growing up.

When life is all WORK IN PROGRESS
One day, I will clear out the garage, I tell myself. But then again, I'll probably leave it to the kids when I die, as frankly, I can't bring myself to do it. It's not the spiders who definitely live in there that frighten me, nor the mice that likely do, but the WIPs. No, I'm not being kinky and spelling badly — not whips, but WIPs. Works in progress. Half-done embroidery, half-knitted blankets, unfinished quilts, and the supplies, oh, the supplies.

Escaping the MANOSPHERE
I look at my two teenage sons - my sweet, funny boys. They still talk to me, laugh at my jokes, linger at the dinner table, and race to spend time with their little sisters. And yet, I feel a wolf at the door. A wolf that waits, patient and relentless, desperate to drag them away from our family into a darker, more threatening world.

Enjoying the SUMMER JUGGLE
At this time of year, our thoughts start to turn to freedom, and distant shores. If we're lucky, the weather beckons us outside and the world welcomes us. This is all very well and good when we're off on holiday to some far flung destination. Or at the weekend when we can take a picnic out into nature. Or even when we're just firing up the barbecue and laying on the grass in our own back garden.
