. '"This must be a simply enormous wardrobe!" thought Lucy, going still further in and pushing the soft folds of the coats aside to make room for her.... Then she noticed that there was something crunching under her feet...' (The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe) . . Narnia! AKA The University of Glasgow, snow forecast, faun alert! . . Lovely image from @1stlovescotland thank you aye. 📸⛄🌨️😘👍

. 'Let every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close: - then let every one of these short lives leave its sure records of some kindly thing done for others - some goodly strength or knowledge gained for yourselves.' (John Ruskin, d 20th January, 1900) . . Felt a little melancholia creeping in over the last couple of days, a wee post-festivity lull, the mid January doldrums... This time last year I was in Oxford preparing for open heart surgery, the rest of the year was then given over to healing and recuperation, and now here we are, one orbit of the sun later, and 2019 looms large. . What next? . For the moment, I shall roll with Ruskin's advice and treat each day as a mini life, every day a new beginning, focus on goodly strength and knowledge, and mix that with a great dollop of generosity, not look too far ahead, and hope that this daily scaffolding shapes a future to conjure with. . . Sunset on The Machars earlier today, cheered me up no end, and a short film of a wild goose chase on the marsh - sound up - 🔊 to hear the pink footed geese about to depart for warmer climes, I might be joining them! The McCottage is currently the McIgloo. . . A new IGTV 📺 film is up, my neighbourhood in Bonny Scotland, and me sounding rather breathless - all that Scottish Fresh Air!! . . #BestFootForward for the week ahead, one day at a time! 💪 xx 😘

. This reminds me of one of my first, (and most popular) Instagram posts. . . It was a window seat in a library, white bright and contemporary, looking out on to lush trees, huge window framed by brightly coloured bookshelves. . . . Can you believe this gorgeous room is actually GLAMPING - SCOTTISH STYLE !? From the super account of @craigheadhowf 📸🌳🌲🏕️🌲🌳😮😍

. 'Keep all your ducks in a row.' . . Origin of this phrase; either something to do with skittles, or, tin ducks in a shooting gallery, or, mother duck keeping her ducklings in an organised line behind her... . . Cottage the colour of a sugar coated almond. ☑️ . Lucky horseshoe above the door. ☑️ . Three ducks in a row on the thatched roof. ☑️ . 🦆🦆🦆 . . Me, standing in the churchyard taking the photo as the lady of the house drew open the curtains in her dressing gown. ❎ . . Keeping all your ducks in a row, ie being organised, leaves more time for spontaneity. ⏳👊

. 'Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.' (Cecil Beaton b 14th January, 1904) . . Mantra for the week ahead: Darlings - Be Daring! . . Step out of your comfort zone a little, be bold 🦁 ! Breathe in courage, give your moxie a little polish and best fearless foot forward for the week ahead! There is nothing ordinary about you! xx . . Incidentally @vamuseum have a wonderful online introduction to Cecil Beaton, definitely worth a browse over ☕... And you can always take a wee peek at my IGTV channel, new film available! 🍿🧐 . . . . Flowers this morning echoing the colours of the new dawn outside my window from the marvellous @thepetalworkshop 😘🌸🌺🌼💮📸💪😍

. 'Let's go fly a kite Up to the highest height Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring...' (Dick Van Dyke, Mary Poppins, have you seen the latest 🎥?) . . Tomorrow, January 14th is International Kite Day. Good job it's not today, or we'd definitely be up through the atmosphere. 🌬️🚀 . . Little on the breezy side here, so I might swerve Kite Day and go for Organise Your Home Day instead, also 'celebrated' (?) on the 14th. It's all about The Edit apparently, so Chanel style, we should be 'Taking One Thing Off'. . . Which reminds me, waters running - I'm off for a candlelit bath to soothe my weary bones following epic journey on our wonderful motorways 🤦‍♀️, but hey, not to worry, I'm with the accountant first thing, followed by lunch with my Pa, LIFE, the gift that keeps on giving! . . Best foot forward for the week ahead every one, gird those loins! 🔥💪🔥 . . .. . . Have just posted a wee fillum on IGTV - more of Dorset, perfect to watch if you're trying to nod off... 😴🙄😜😀 feedback welcome, I'm honing skills for McCottage TV, more to come... . Thinking happy thoughts with @isabellopezquesada and her gorgeous sweetly scented garden... And breathe! 📸💐🚀🔥😘😍

. . Exploring Corfe Castle and came across this charming thatched cottage, covered in trembling pom poms! . . #shakeyourpompoms 👯 . . Any idea what they are? Clematis?

. 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.' (Leonardo da Vinci) . . Loving the quiet, gentle simplicity here. A soothing antidote to the twinkly excesses of the festive season. The greatest wealth is to live a happy life with little. We assume that the more stuff we have, the happier we will be. In fact the opposite is proven to be true. . . Stuff = Stress. . . On my way back up to Scotland tomorrow. I'm beginning to miss the emptiness of space and the rustic simplicity of the McCottage. . . As I said earlier in the week, it's time to focus on the essential, simplify life, and make room for magic. . . I think today is the day most people give up on their New Year's Resolutions.. Let's not worry too much about that, as along as you're doing more of what makes you happy, and making room for the magic to happen, all will be well. Xxxxx 😘🧙 . . . . . Making room for magic with this fabulous post from @mossandstonefloraldesign and @clarecoulson 📸🌸💮🌺🕯️🥰😍

. 'In a gentle way, you can shake the world.' (Mahatma Gandhi) . . . The inspiring arrangements of @lewismillerdesign - gently shaking the world with his surplus flowers - one empty trash can at a time... . . Isn't this a wonderful idea, simple, kind... . . No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted. The ripple goes on and on... . .

. 'Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.' (William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night) . . Sunday, January 6th, Twelfth Night. According to Jean Rhys - 'The feeling of Sunday is the same everywhere, heavy, melancholy, standing still.' . . Feels a little like that here this evening. All the decorations are down and safely away til next year, the holly and ivy garlands in a heap in the garden, twinkly lights dimmed... It looks bare, and feels hollow. Many of us are back to the coalface tomorrow. Some relieved, but many dreading it.. . . We need a Twelfth Night Epiphany Moment! #HateSomethingChangeSomething #💡 #Aha . . Here's some Posh Encouragement if you feel apprehensive about the weeks ahead: . 1. Define your purpose. What are you doing and why? . 2. Develop positive thoughts. Weed out the negative chatter and squash it. Try one or two affirmations. . 3. Move. Sign up for yoga/boxing/aqua/ambling/what ever takes your fancy.. . 4. Focus on the essential. Simplify life. Make room for magic. . . I'll go into more detail in the week ahead. Adopting one or two habits like these will have a positive impact on your life and allow space for these life bulb moments and we can achieve greatness together.. 😘 . . . #BestFootForward for the week ahead xxxx #WeCanDoThis . . . . Lovely lightbulb moments from @sposiamovi 💡😻💪📸❣️

. 'Since I come so far, I have no choice but to try harder. I will do my best.' . . Japanese lady Kane Tanaka, who celebrates her 116th birthday today, January 2nd, 2019. . . Kane attributes her longevity to eating rice, small fish and soup, and drinking lots of water. 🍚 🐟 She is also rather partial to canned coffee and sweets, and has been following this diet since she was 112. 😲 . . Meanwhile, back in Dorset, I haven't moved from the sofa. Chores!! Admin!! Banking!! Inland Revenue!! To-Do List!! Detox Diet Recipe List!! De-Clutter List!! Resolution List! Reading List! How Not To Get Stressed List! . . 116 years old. That's an awful lot of Janxiety. . . . . . JANXIETY free sofa from @theworldofinteriors 😘💘😥🇯🇵🎎😍📸

. 'What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?' (E M Forster, b 1st January, 1879) . . Log off, shut down, and GET OUTSIDE! . Or read. An actual book! I'm just tucking in to Forster's Howard's End #recommend . . This lovely hotel @thyme.england reminds me of Rooks Nest House, which was Forster's childhood home in Hertfordshire... imagining the whoosh of the wind through the trees here.. . . Ps - Story now up with Bath Tub Race Results and Music from Wet Wet Wet! xx

. 'Birds flying high, you know how I feel Sun in the sky, you know how I feel Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day And I'm feeling good.' (Nina Simone, Feeling Good) . . Off to bed last night amidst thunderous fireworks, awoken this morning by a cacophony of gulls. Was almost tempted to go outside and investigate. Almost. 🔊🙉 . . Had I been waking up in Scotland this morning I'd be looking forward to Hogmanay neighbours first-footing into the McCottage with shortbread, whisky and fruit cake, instead of which, I'm in Dorset and we're off to see the annual New Year's Day Bath Tub Race. 🤔 . . 🌊🛀🛀🛀🛀🛀🌊 . . . . . Good Morning @johntanner in Cotignac with the most excellent new dawn view... 📸🌅🥖🐓🛌🐧❣️💘

. . Sound Up! 🔊 . . 'Champagne for the occasion...' 🍾🥂 'Some for you, some for me...!' . . 'A new life begins for us with every second. Let us go joyously to meet it. We must press on, whether we will or no, and we shall walk better with our eyes before us than with them ever cast behind.' (Jerome K Jerome) . . The healthiest response to life is JOY... Here's to 2019, let us go joyously to meet it. 👯 . . Just back from the beach in the grey gloaming. It was still, and quiet, and we lit sparklers and tealights, each choosing a word to represent our dreams for the year ahead. . I chose JOY. . What word do you have in mind for your 2019 dreams...? . . May all your dreams come true next year, dream big! With lots of love and mucho fairy dust Posh xxxx

. 'The time has come", the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax - Of cabbages - and kings...' (Lewis Carroll, The Walrus and the Carpenter) . . Talking of many things here. Surfing the crest of A New Year does that... Achievements, disappointments, lessons learnt, the what might have been versus the actuality. To be honest, and at the risk of repeating myself, I'm happy to be here. Glad I am To Be Alive. So let's not look back too much. We're not going that way remember! . . Any exciting plans for this evening? Do share. I'm rather curmudgeonly about NYE, and I've no idea why.... 🤔 So an afternoon seaswim, an early supper, then bed, very excited by the prospect of another trip around the sun, and I hope you are too. . . I'll post again later, with some timely advice, exciting news, and some #BestFootForward encouragement. 💪🦄 See you soon xxxx . . . . . . . Lots to talk about here with these beautiful cabbage soup tureens by @vladimir.kanevsky Creator of Floral Porcelain.

. 'No matter how grouchy you're feeling, you'll find the smile more or less healing. It grows in a wreath all around the teeth thus preserving the face from congealing.' (Anthony Euwer) . . Lovely wreath action from @blossomanddill 😘💐📸🦄 . I'm a little late to the Christmas Wreath Party, only just found the hook for mine... 🙄 ...especially when people seem to already be taking down their decorations?!? Why?! . . #Keepsmiling #Preservesthefacefromcongealing #😁

. 'He had a long thin nose, a moustache like flock wallpaper, sparse, carefully combed hair, and the complexion of a Hovis loaf.' (Len Deighton, The Ipcress Files) . . This is Gold Hill, Shaftesbury, Dorset, setting for Britain's favourite advert, directed by Sir Ridley Scott in 1973. ... 'Hovis.... like taking bread to the top of the world..' . . My Grandmother was most partial to very thin slices of Hovis, spread liberally with creamy white Irish butter. She'd butter the loaf first, then slice, using an ancient bread knife, wooden handle carved with a wheat sheaf... . . We stopped here last night, on the way back from the Boxing Day Races... Don't ask! 🤦‍♀️ The sun had just set, and the lights were starting to twinkle across Blackmore Vale... . . Did you know that Hovis was so called following a competition in 1890, when Herbert Grime named the loaf from the Latin phrase - 'Hominis Vis' - 'Strength of Man'. . . #hovis #bestthingsinceslicedbread . . . (Google Hovis Bike advert on YouTube if you'd like to see the original...)

. 'Always on Christmas night there was music. An uncle played the fiddle, a cousin sang "Cherry Ripe," and another uncle sang "Drake's Drum." It was very warm in the little house. Auntie Hannah, who had got on to the parsnip wine, sang a song about Bleeding Hearts and Death, and then another in which she said her heart was like a Bird's Nest; and then everybody laughed again; and then I went to bed. Looking through my bedroom window, out into the moonlight and the unending smoke-coloured snow, I could see the lights in the windows of all the other houses on our hill and hear the music rising from them up the long, steady falling night. I got into bed. I said some words to the close and holy darkness, and then I slept.' (Dylan Thomas, A Child's Christmas in Wales) . . . Merry Christmas from me to you. . . You've made the stars shine brighter and the winter days warmer just by dropping by and saying how do. . . Wishing you peace and joy, and for those of you finding this time of year tricky, those feeling lonely, bereft, anxious, or poorly, I send big hugs and a promise that nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same, so chin up, do as Dylan did, put on that Christmas music, sing, dance, cheer your soul, light a candle, write down your wishes for the months ahead, change happens one moment at a time, you'll get there xxx . . . . . It's a sultry 10° here 😎, so thanks @fabbb_s for this magical image xx ☃️🎄☃️ . . . . (For the eagle eyed 🦅 amongst you, you're right, this was my post for Christmas last year, apologies for the repeat, but I think it's just as valid 12 months on... Much love from me to you xx)

. Q: 'What do you call a three legged reindeer? A: Eileen . . Oh deer. 🤦‍♀️ . . Just having a debate here at Posh Towers, what's the worst Christmas cracker joke!?? . . My father's contribution: Q: What do you get for the man who has everything? A: Antibiotics. . . 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ . . . . . Fawning over these super duper ice lolly reindeer from @rymondtn 🦌🍦⛄😋😍🦄📸 . .

. 'No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.' (Hal Borland) . . I bring you Tidings of Great Joy! Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice! Meaning LONGER days and SHORTER nights! . . And to celebrate I give you 'Winter Solstice' an installation by @kittengraysonflowers (or commiserate if you are South of the Equator... 😬😲😉😁) . . More on how to celebrate Midwinter later... Off to find a recipe for Yule log! Then a drive to Dorset... 🤦‍♀️ Brace! Brace!
