This winter hasn’t been the best has it? Whilst, it has not been cold, it has been wet, wet, wet. Morning dog walks have become mudslides and I have donned my wellies almost daily. This morning, as I write, we have had the most beautiful winter’s day. It started very cold, very misty but when the sun broke through around 10 O’clock, it turned immediately into spring and it is still February! Snowdrops have burst into life, but also crocus and daffodils are appearing too.
I have even opened windows and let the air into the house.
It is a time when I think about spring-cleaning. The act of dusting away the cobwebs from not only the house, but my mind too is very therapeutic. It is so easy to become stuck in a rut through the winter and spring starts to inspire my creative side, giving me space to think. I feel alive with energy.
I’ve had to clear my desk of some of the clutter and turn off my social media prompts, but I’ve made myself a new notepad (I’ve learned bookbinding over the winter), and started to mind map my ideas and plans. These include my next art project, finally getting around to planning redesigning my lounge and revamping my website. I may not manage it all this year but at least I have made a start.
