The Winter that Never Ended ....

I think most Victorians would agree that this year in particular it has felt like it is the Winter that will never end! Don't get me wrong, Winter actually is one of my favourite seasons, but this one is just going and going and going ...

Maybe it is because I am now back being a full time employee and have to leave the house at ungodly morning hours, travel vast distances and traverse muddy school yards that I didn't have to do when I was being mum at home.

Maybe it's because I am again stuck inside with a damned flu! Again, universally agreed to be the worst flu season ever! Either way, I am here now thinking about you, my blog. Thinking about how aspirational it was, how determined it was and how much time I had to devote to it.

Somewhere along the way with our move to the seaside and 4 small children becoming larger, busier ones, I let something go in my life. And this was it. I want it back now. I have so much to say and not just about food anymore. I want to talk about cutting all sorts of crap from life, as this is starting to clog up my existence. So, let's start the conversation again shall we?

Below are the books that have once again been my inspiration. I have eagerly been awaiting these to come in the mail. I borrowed Rhonda's books from the library and thought them so worth the money I ordered them so I had copies for myself.

I have been diving head first into these during  my convalescence and they are telling me the answer to the question I didn't know I was asking. My Winter wasn't just lasting all this year, it's been going for many years and yes it's time to shake off the grey clouds and start living life again how I want to. Without guilt, without time constraints, without nay-saying. 

If you want to get a sense of what I mean head to these two authors, and feel the cold of Winter blowing away for yourself:
