Friday Five - 20/03/2020

How things have changed in just a week. The world seems like a totally different place in the space of just 7 days. As planned I'm just going to share a few of the things that make me go Mmmmm. I'm not taking for granted the simple things in life that never fail to lift my spirits.

I'll start as I usually do with a style steal. 

No.1

Alexa made me do it.

My outfit 

Zara coat, past season

Pull & Bear sweatshirt S/S 19

Topshop Straight jeans

Cocorose shoes, still available (purchased in January)

Clare V bag

No.2

One of my greatest pleasures. Nothing beats slipping into fresh line dried bed linen.

No.3

Waking up to blue skies and a beautiful view. How uplifting was it to see a bit of sun earlier this week.

No.4

Walking. Never underestimate the power of a walk in nature. I've been going out for a stroll twice a day. Life is still going on. The brook is babbling, the birds are singing and the bees are busy pollinating. My daughter and I have started going for a walk in the evenings too. It's half an hour I really cherish. She tells me all about her day without the usual distractions we have at home. This bit of 'us' time is so good for the soul.

No.5

Nothing says spring quite like the scent of freshly cut grass! Another one of life's simple pleasures.....inhale!

With the way things are at the moment it's good to get back to basics and enjoy the simple things in life......just the everyday things that are easy to overlook but that bring a great deal of joy during these uncertain times. 

I'd love to hear about the little things keeping you going at the moment. 

Back next week, Michelle x
