“In our relentlessly busy contemporary world, we “In our relentlessly busy contemporary world, we are forever trying to defer the onset of winter. We didn’t ever dare to feel it’s full bite, and we don’t dare to show the way that it ravages us. A sharp wintering, sometimes, would do us good ... We must learn to invite the winter in.” {Katherine May}

I went into full hibernation a few weeks ago and am slowly coming back to life! It’s been a bit harder to embrace winter this year but there is beauty in it everywhere when I remember to look - golden sunrises, glittering pavements, sprinklings of snow. And, let’s be honest, this city just suits the winter - in all it’s fierce and freezing glory! ❄️

Trying my hardest to savour every sparkling second of Christmas magic this year. It’s different and a little harder to find than usual but it’s still there, twinkling in the darkness. Sending you all so much love and light, particularly to those whose Christmas doesn’t look quite the way they thought it would ✨🎄

The Dome at Christmas, a true Edinburgh icon and joy to behold every year! I just love the new nutcrackers this year too! Happy new week to you all. Last working Monday of the year for me - this month is flying past! ❤️🎄✨

One of the little joys of Instagram this year is still being able to admire all the beautiful Christmas displays in cities around the world. I love a Christmassy city break - a weekend wandering around admiring the lights and peeking in shop windows while bundled up against the cold is my idea of heaven - but I’m more than happy to cosy up and savour all the beautiful festive photos popping up in my feed! Consider this my contribution - Edinburgh is so beautiful at Christmas and I love sharing it with you all, near or far 🎄✨💫

I love this magical little tree and make a pilgrimage to admire it every year. It's tucked away down a little cobbled close (aptly named Jollie's Close in fact!) in one of the oldest parts of Edinburgh and if you didn't know to look for it, you could easily walk past it. Seeing its twinkly glow always makes me feel so festive! 🎄✨
