Ah, la luna - I have missed you. With the February Ah, la luna - I have missed you. With the February rains, it was hard to see the moon most night's, so it makes tonight's 99% waxing gibbous especially beautiful. Tomorrow night is the full moon - the worm moon, complete with a total lunar eclipse. Time to make wishes, tread carefully, and lay the delicate fabric of your dreams.

March is here with its mad March hares - and a lit March is here with its mad March hares - and a little bit of madness maybe in my own life! I love this month as it begins with World Book Day. I have already had messages from parents, saying that their children want to dress up as Mister Mishkins this year, and I have schools booked in to talk to on the day. Seeing children's faces light up as they fall in love with words is everything; I can't wait! March is also about promise - the promise of spring, with a hazy warmth on the breeze, a riot of colour in hedgerows and gardens, birds busy making nests, and lambs gambolling in the fields. What are your plans for this month? As ever, I love to hear your news, so do let me know. Samantha xx I have a lot of exciting news to share with you this year, so do sign up to my newsletter and be the first to know! https://samanthamattocks.com/subscribe-to-samanthas-newsletter
I don't know about you, but February has gone by i I don't know about you, but February has gone by in a blur! I came down with a cold early on in the month that has turned slightly fluey. Hopefully, I am over the worst now. This month has seen two birthday parties, a flying trip to London, a week in Sweden, an encounter with a pothole I don't want to repeat, and some amazing art. What's been your highlight? Samantha xx 1 - snowdrops 2 - with my gorgeous cousin @stefgrace 3 - Oxford Street 4 - art 5 - 6" deep pothole! 6 - my kind of café 7 - sanctuary 8 - art 9 - amazing from The cake boutique Norwich 10 - with my wonderful parents
I am not sure why beige food always tastes good, b I am not sure why beige food always tastes good, but this casserole I made last night is the epitome of delicious! I have been under the weather for a few weeks now, feeling worse this week. I craved a richer version of chicken soup - and so made this, with cannellini beans and vegetables. It was exactly what the doctor ordered, and the leftovers tasted even better for lunch. Warming, soothing, natural, reviving. Comfort food at it's very best.

A beautiful memory of a week cat sitting in Sweden A beautiful memory of a week cat sitting in Sweden. I wonder what they were saying to each other - is it too cold to go out? I will if you will? That snow looks a bit deep? Sweden truly was a winter wonderland this time around. Thank you 🧡
