This week seemed to be all about food and blue skies. I’m really enjoying having so much time to spend cooking, learning new recipes and learning how to use up the leftovers in soups. We also had our first lockdown takeout this week and couldn’t resist having fish and chips again, even though we’d alreadyContinueContinue reading “Week 2: a Series of Little Moments”

It’s Earth Day – but when will Earth Overshoot Day be?
Its Earth Day today, so I wanted to share a piece I wrote around Earth Overshoot Day last year. If you’ve never heard of either, consider Earth Day as a day to celebrate the Earth (a bit like mother’s day, we should appreciate her every day but we need a specific day to remind us),ContinueContinue reading “It’s Earth Day – but when will Earth Overshoot Day be?”
Week 1: a Series of Little Moments
Seven days has passed remarkably quickly considering its been seven days in lockdown. Despite the sadness and madness going on in the world right now, when I look back over these little moments in lockdown I get a sense of comfort and joy. My days haven’t been particularly eventful – a characteristic of my lifeContinueContinue reading “Week 1: a Series of Little Moments”
A Series of Little Moments
For the next while I’ll be sharing a photograph a day. A series of little moments, each one capturing a little bit of life. This is a little different to the usual content, but I hope you enjoy! I’ll post daily to my Instagram (follow @annacas_well to keep up to date) and collect photos weeklyContinueContinue reading “A Series of Little Moments”
Apparently I’m not special
You are not special. That’s the sentence that stared me in the face part way through my latest lockdown read. A bit harsh. Isn’t it? Yet as I read the chapter I realised it nicely pulled together some of my recent thoughts. And in fact I agreed with the author. It was like he hadContinueContinue reading “Apparently I’m not special”
India: Photographs of Insignificant Moments
I don’t have many of the usual holiday pics of me standing in front of things from India. But I have got photos that bring back feelings. Ones that remind me of the days without big, notable experiences to tell people about, but full of lots of little experiences that changed me. In a fewContinueContinue reading “India: Photographs of Insignificant Moments”
India thoughts
I collected together my thoughts, observations and comparisons to life in the UK during three weeks in India. A little insight into my brain. Already I think differently to what I thought when I wrote each section, so I’m very aware these are not well rounded or particularly knowledgeable points..just what I thought at theContinueContinue reading “India thoughts”
On deleting Instagram for two months
I was surprised at how much I noticed it was gone and how much it affected life outside the squares. I wouldn’t say I was addicted to Instagram, but with my phone’s screen time monitor showing me I consistently spend over 40 minutes a day Instagramming, I’d say I spent too much time on it.ContinueContinue reading “On deleting Instagram for two months”
A head or a heart decision?
The leaves haven’t turned yet, but it feels like we’ve skipped autumn and winter is here. The lighting of our wood-burner reminding me of cosy Christmas holiday days. The need to wrap up warm and cosy up indoors calling me more strongly than the windy and wet outdoors. If you like winter this probably soundsContinueContinue reading “A head or a heart decision?”
Is a Training Schedule Always a Good Thing?
Exercise has always been a central pillar in my life but in recent years it has decreased dramatically in intensity and frequency. Currently my exercise is sporadic and varied. I have no exercise regime and can’t help but feel that I’m being lazy. I often feel like I should commit to a training schedule andContinueContinue reading “Is a Training Schedule Always a Good Thing?”
