Our World: End-of-2020 Edition

 So, 2020 is drawing to a close... Most of us are, no doubt, thinking good riddance! 

But I like to think that there have been some moments of brightness, some lessons learned that we can take into the new year with us. I'd hate to think of a whole year just going to waste - don't you?

So, let's take those sweet moments into the new year with us and make them into moments of hope.

Our World: The Christmas Edition

 The winter solstice is here - which means that the days will start getting a bit longer and a bit lighter. And a bit more hopeful!

Wishing you all a relaxing and love-filled festive season!



Monday, December 14, 2020

Our World: 14 December 2020

 It's wet and warm - unusually so - for us! 

Wishing you all a wonderful week full of light and love - and, if you're lucky, some wet dogs! :-)

Our World: 7 December 2020

December is here with its muted colours and greys... It feels more like November without any snow.




Monday, November 30, 2020

Our World: Wait - It's December Edition!

 Can you believe it's December already?! 

November has been pretty mild. Got some snow at the weekend, but still had to pick three ticks off Ruby and one off Simmie! (Crazy!) And we had a beautiful full moon.



Monday, November 23, 2020

Our World: 23 November 2020

 I hope you are all doing well in these uncertain times. 

Mental health is important and I try to remain optimistic and energetic.

Hugs to you all!

Our World: 2 November 2020

 With the world on lockdown, we really have to practice resilience and acceptance. And we have to show kindness and love to each other in these difficult times.

 October is here with each day more beautiful than the last!

Our World: October at last Edition

 Welcome October with its rusty leaves (if you're in the northern hemisphere) and its vibrant petals (if you're in the southern hemisphere)!



Monday, September 28, 2020

Monday, September 21, 2020

Our World: 21 September 2020

 I'm waiting for the leaves to turn yellow and gold. What about you? You may even be enjoying spring if you live in the southern hemisphere.




Monday, September 14, 2020

Our World: 14 September 2020

We are enjoying some lovely, warm September days.

How about you?

Our World: September 7 2020

 Lovely weather here in Sweden, although I'm missing my visit to see the family back in England.

Our World: It's-September-already!

 It's September already - my favourite time of year! September is often mild here before the frosts set in and trees explode with colour. 

What's your favourite time of year?




Monday, August 24, 2020

Our World: 24 August 2020

 We are having some fabulous summer weather! (Typical now that schools and work have started again.) I'm still working remotely from home.



Monday, August 17, 2020

Our World: 17 August 2020

 A lot of schools start this week. Let's hope everyone keeps safe and healthy!



Monday, August 10, 2020

Our World: 10 August 2020

Welcome to another summer (or winter, depending on where you live) edition of Our World! 

A lot of Europe and Scandinavia is in the grip of a heatwave. I'll have to hang onto that feeling when autumn comes.

Our World: August-already Edition

It's August already! It's hard to believe but this is my last week of holiday. Feels like only yesterday that the holidays started...

Some of you may remember my sweet dog, Oscar (RIP). Here he is teaching us to remember to take time to smell the flowers.


Monday, July 27, 2020

Our World: 27 July 2020

Lush summer is in progress - the green is greener and the colours are brighter at this time of year.


Monday, July 20, 2020

Our World: 20 July 2020

July has been lush and verdant!

Hope you have time to foal around a bit...


Monday, July 13, 2020

Monday, July 6, 2020

Our World: 6 July 2020

The countryside is turning lush with emerald greens thanks to all the rain.


Monday, June 29, 2020

Our World: 29 June 2020

It's hard to believe that half a year has already been and gone! Time is a funny thing - it seems to have gone slowly in lockdown, but also fast!


Monday, June 22, 2020

Our World: 22 June 2020

We have already had the longest day of the year! It was lovely and hot here too for a change.


Monday, June 15, 2020

Our World - nearly-Midsummer-Edition

It's hard to believe that it's nearly midsummer - or midwinter (depending on where you live)! I'm finally getting out into the woods a bit more and am able to enjoy some of the lushness and summer heat! No doubt it will rain at the end of the week as midsummer is usually cold and wet. :-)


Monday, June 8, 2020

Our World: 8 June 2020

Welcome to another episode of Our World!

This is a typically busy time of year - and even though almost everything has been cancelled, two of us will be able to attend our daughter's graduation from senior high school - with strict social distancing in place - at the end of the week.

I gather that one class will graduate at a time and be allowed to come outside where the two family members will stand in little boxes that are two metres apart from everyone else.


Monday, June 1, 2020

Our World: 1 June 2020

Time is a funny thing: it goes by slowly (12 weeks now of being at home) and yet it also seems to pass by in the blink of an eye. June already!


Monday, May 25, 2020

Our World: 25 May 2020

The sun is finally shining!

Hope you are all doing well and being kind. :-)


Monday, May 11, 2020

Our World: 11 May 2020

Birds, flowers and May snow are here!

Keep well, my friends. // Lady Fi


Monday, May 4, 2020

Our World: 4 May 2020

We've had snow, rain and also sunshine! In other words, a typical start to May. :-)


Monday, April 27, 2020

Our World: 27 April 2020

Hope you are all holding up well.

Even the ugliest caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies.

My arm has been operated on. I'm very grateful for all the doctors and nurses who go to work every day!  // Lady Fi



Monday, April 13, 2020

Our World: 13 April 2020

Last week I was talking about balance and should have heeded my own advice. I fell off my bike and have broken my arm. Operation this week!

 Have a safe week.


Monday, April 6, 2020

Our World: 6 April 2020

Keeping our balance is essential, if difficult, in these trying times. (Don't be too hard on yourself if you fall over every now and then though!)


Monday, March 30, 2020

Our World: 30 March 2020

It's hard to believe it's almost April.

The world is at a standstill - but the sun will shine again if we all show how much we care for each other and the planet.


Monday, March 23, 2020

Our World: 23 March 2020

Even though we are all floating in our own separate balloons to create distance, remember that together we still create beauty.


Monday, March 16, 2020

Our World: 16 March 2020

Instead of spreading fear, let's spread kindness, laughter and love!

Keep well out there.


Monday, March 9, 2020

Our World: 9 March 2020

March has brought some lovely, foggy days with it!

Hope you are all keeping calm and safe in these times of viruses and uncertainty!


Monday, March 2, 2020

Our World: It's-March-already!

March is here with snow and rain and snow and rain.

Hope it's looking good where you are!

There's still some gold in woods!

Thanks for joining Our World - always good to see you here.

Our World: 10 February 2020

Amidst all the crazy politics, there is some good news!

A lot of rain fell in Australia putting out a third of the fires.

Swedish researchers have found a better way to store solar energy and then release it up to a decade after it was stored.

And a new peanut allergy treatment has just been approved in the US.


Monday, February 3, 2020

Our World: 3 February 2020

February already! And the days are getting longer and lighter!


Monday, January 27, 2020

Our World: 27 January 2020

Amazingly enough - January is coming to an end! And the days are getting slighter lighter and longer!

Our World: 20 January 2020

Our lake still hasn't iced over! But Simmie doesn't mind.
