Your photos are brilliant. I can feel the temperature and sunshine. Also, I appreciate your focus on grounding and being present. My family and I have gratitude lists that we keep to stay present: it works well for us. Love your chairs and that bathtub 🛀

I wish I had a pound for every time I've said 'there's no such thing as a silly question' when I'm teaching! 😂😂😂 Loved this week's ramblings - I've ended up reading them a day late in my lunch hour!

No pressure here but I have been stalking my emails waiting for the one that says your weekly ramblings are in!

Sticky toffee pudding is the best ❤️

My joy has come from reading your piece and also from a lovely bunch of daffodils I spotted in the midst of the copse next to our home. Glorious and uplifting. Have a great week x

Beautiful ramblings as always Gareth, thank you. I've only visited Scotland once, Isle of Skye actually after your recommendation! And we loved it so I always enjoy seeing your photos. The chairs and the bath are just perfect. Looking forward to seeing the colourful plants.

Another uplifting, entertaining read Gareth, thank you. Loving your Lloyd Loom chairs, it's unusual to find 4 matching at the same time. Lucky you.

Lovely photos of your meal at Ochinverary and the West Coast. Most certainly I can see why I can see why it stole your heart.

My moments of joy every day are noticing all the changes outside with nature and the day light shifting. I just love noticing the daily changes as there so many pockets of joy at this time of year.

Thank you, once again Gareth ❤️❤️

My little pocket of joy today has been to read your ramblings, whilst sipping a cup of ginger tea. Both equally, surprisingly refreshing. Thank you.

I love having a peek at your home, the chairs look fab! Gorgeous photos but I couldn't eat that amazing looking sticky toffee pud without a bucketful of cream, ice cream or custard!

You've had a great week Gareth and thank you again for sharing with us all along the way. Did you know Lloyd Loom chairs are actually made of paper. They are wonderful and fit in any home plus you've done a wonderful paint job on yours. Love the bath too. You could have excited the passing coos by bathing outside along with rubber ducky. Just a thought.
