A reminder. It is officially peanut butter and banana on toast season. And fairtrade bananas and peanut butter make it a treat that gives back. 🥜 🍌 😘 . . #peanutbutterandbananatoast #fairtrade #hibernationmode #simplepleasures

My reading pile has merged with my read again pile and made an island of solace, my little corner of hope, my trust in this world. Imagine, not so long ago they didn’t want poor people or minorities to read as this provided another layer of control. Being able to read is a privilege and one I don’t take it for granted. All my books, all my words of magic, all the stories, I want to live inside them forever. Books save lives and create them, it makes me so sad when I see homes without them and wonder about the people who put more focus on how a book looks stylised in their space than the words it contains. Each to their own I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️but I see you 👀 . . . #bookstagram #bookssavelives #booksofinstagram #booknerd #grattitude #getlostinabook #embracetheordinary #happyhumpday

Morning breaking is my favourite time of day. The possibilities of what we will learn, who we might meet, what event might change our lives for ever? No day is ordinary, sometimes we just miss out on what we don’t choose to see. Would you look at the colours in this sky. . . . . #grateful #gratitude #nofilter #morninghasbroken #hackney
