About Me

…I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don’t feel so bad.

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Nicky. I’ve been married for 33 years (young bride obviously!) and am a mother of 4 grown-up but still very present children, and the daughter of elderly parents living close by. I have two overly devoted springer spaniels.

I love books, movies, flowers, walking the dogs, beaches, all things Italian, beautiful scenery and copious amounts of rosé or gin. Wanting to live a long life but with good health, I soak up all well-being information on the need for sleep, movement, dealing with stress and good food.

This blog is a recording of me focusing on my favourite things, being grateful, following all the things I “should be doing”, doing all the things I “should be doing” and seeing what changes they make and hopefully living the next big chunk of my life with health, happiness and meaning. Probably with less rosé. And on a budget!
